Is that possible to study at two universities?

Is that allowed by the Finnish education law to do two different degree studies from two schools at the same time?
My first degree study can be done this autumn, can I take the master study from another university now? This is half a year overlapped. Can I register in both schools?

I remember there is a "one degree" rule.... apart from which if you are now finishing your studies you actually need to have the paper before you can apply to the other don't you?

If I remember correctly, it is possible to be registered at two universities at the same time. However, a student can only accept one study placement per year (i.e. you can not become accepted into two HEI's during a single academic year). So if you've already started your studies at university X, in principle it could be possible for you to become accepted into some other university Y after a year or two. You should still check this from the institutions I'd say.

Another question is... how tricky it would be to organise your study schedules (attending lectures, seminars etc...)

Thanks for the reply, I will check with the school to see what they will say.
