Hi Frens/Mentors,

Sweet Regards. I was in a lot of confusion regarding migrating to Finland but when i discovered this forum, i thought this possibly can show me the RIGHT way.

I am of an Asian origin and have come to Spain on a Student Visa on 28th March 2008 which expires on March 2009 ( I initially got a Visa of 3 months which i had got extended to an Years). I have a valid passport, Visa , all necessary educational documents and the required funds (6000 Euros for an yr ). I wanted to know if Medical Card issued in Spain is valid in Finland or should i get a Medical Insurance from Spain.

I am interested in migrating to Finland on a Study basis.Could you advise me on the universities which offer Free 3 yrs Master's degree in Business .Your advise as to when are the admissions starting and what procedures involved would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

It's probably best if you get familiar with the basics first, so it's homework time

Please get acquainted with the following thoroughly

admissions - http://www.universityadmissions.fi

permits etc - http://www.migri.fi AND http://www.finlandia.es/

Those you pay money to get in take you for the money - those who take you in for free take you for your brain.

Ok let's get the facts straight here:

1. MBA programs are generally 1 or 2 years
2. MBA programs generally cost money, even in Finland (where all other education is free)
3. I have never heard of an MBA program that doesn't have admission requirements, and if you find one, stay far far far far away from it, because you will just waste 2 years of your life on nothing.

Oh to sum it up, no there is no such programs you're looking for in Finland. Normal programs involving tuition fees, admission process and 2 years of study, YES!

Good luck!

If one the other hand you want to apply for a regular masters program (that will still have admission requirements), search for programs at this site: http://www.universityadmissions.fi/

Yeah, a MBA is not a masters degree in business and economics. Degrees are free to study for by law, but as the MBA isn't a "degree" that would qualify for example for a government job, so thats why they are allowed to charge for them.
