There are no associate degrees in Finland, the lowest degree is a Bachelor.charlesirwin22 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 11:02 pmCan my associates degree in criminal justice: police science by used/ recognized on finland? Or do I have e to retake a it again in finland?
There is only limited use for the knowledge from your previous degree, judicial system and policing in Finland are completely different from the US.
In addition to a Bachelor from the Police University, Finnish police officers need Finnish citizenship and Finnish and Swedish language skills.
