Campus life

Finland is among the best countries in the world according to many quality of life indicators, including being the happiest country in the world for the fourth consecutive year (2018-2023 by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network / World Happiness Report). 

We are humble people, but dare to say we have one of the most advanced education systems in the world.

The Nordic values of equality and co-operation are rooted deeply into our society. 

With high investments in R&D, a strong innovation culture, open data and advanced state of digitalization, we are a nation of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Gender equality, flexibility and low hierarchy are at the core of our Nordic working environment.

We are one of the world’s most reliable and stable nations with low levels of corruption and high level of social security, and safety.

Having four distinct seasons, clean air and thousands of lakes, we take good care of our unique environment.

Finnish language is known to be a bit on the complicated side, but don’t worry, we Finns are fluent in English, and have an international mindset. 

We have wide and reliable transport networks, with Helsinki airport serving over 100 direct destinations.
