Pretty much all of those questions should be answered by the student office of the university, that's why they're there for.

like I said use the search, there's similar threads by other people.

I didn't do any portfolio, since I went to university in the UK.

Music and media management cannot be something that many people know about. In fact this is the first time I hear about it, so my guess is that nobody on this board has done that portfolio. Why don´t you contact the university and ask, what do they want and what should that portfolio contain.

thanks, gyues, i contacted the Head of the programm and she didnt open me the sercret how to make a realy good portfolio, just said "it's up to me", but as far as we're talking about entrance exams i realy want to know at least patterns how to make it so that the comission will be impresed...well, if u dont know, not a problem than may be u'll say someting about the short-term stay at Jyvaskyula? Where do the overseas applicants usually stay at for the examenation period?
by the way, is it difficult to learn Finish language?

because there's a person everyday asking the same questions. Why repeat, if the answer is already posted here?

I'm just saving time by not typing out an essay every day about the same topics...

than plz give me a link where the answer is, the reason i'm asking is because i havn't found anything yet, and furthermore is it really so difficult...?

i hoped on the friendly welcome...

You can always ask tthe student body if they have some short term alternatives.

Then there is for example this: http://www.kolumbus.fi/pensionkampus/inenglish.htm
