Have you already got a placement at the university? I mean, is it just a plan at this stage and you haven't actually even applied yet...?

Just trying to figure out how realistic your plan would be.

Okay. How much Finnish do you know already? I'm not quite sure what "sufficiently" would mean in your case, but assuming you know only the common greetings and can buy milk in the shop, it's a pretty long way to specialised medical texts. (I could be wrong but if you are going to specialise in Medicine in Finnish, your studies are not going to consist mainly of sentences like "hyvää päivää, nimeni on Kaaleppi, onko tämä oikea tie rautatieasemalle?") So, if you do not know any Finnish, you might be best advised to prepare yourself for an encounter with Τὸ Μέγα Θηρίον that is the Finnish language :D

I'm presuming that the specialisation you're after is not available in English?

I don't mean to put you down, just testing the waters so to speak. You're not telling us very much about your starting level, nor did you actually comment yet whether or not you know ( and not assume!) you will be accepted by the hosting university. So it's pretty hard to give any sort of sensible advise.

House - job - can't help you with those, sorry. Finnish - see: http://www.infopankki.fi/en-GB/Finnish_Language/

I see :) Well, just stating the obvious here but you have probably checked whether you need to have your Greek degree recognised by TEO http://www.teo.fi... see http://www.oph.fi/info/recognition - Recognition of foreign qualifications in Finland - Right to practice a profession... or, whether after your specialisation the thing is kosher as such... (I'm only stating these as friendly suggestions since I'm not 100%sure myself! You do not need recognition by TEO to apply to universities, academic recognition is a different thing; but if you wish to practice as a doctor, then it's essential)

edit: from another post of yours - "I have already searched it through and the specialty there is totally recognizable in my home country." Well, well. You put these bits and pieces of ESSENTIAL information in a dozen separate messages, and make us run after them :lol: So you're going back to Greece after this specialty...? I'm afraid you lost me there, I'm not that much an expert in studying medicine. How long would this specialty take, is it a degree or what...? Now I don't know.

No Finnish at all... right. I've posted you some language course possibilities in the above - what can I say in that respect except good luck...! Now it's your turn to do the running...

Don't mention it... in fact I wouldn't even know, if you're going back to Greece after your special... thingummy, whether you'd need the TEO recognition or not.

Hope you'll find something (and are a quick learner :wink: )
