Living in Sweden with a Finnish RP?

Hi Guys,

I am non-EU citizen and I can get a residence permit based on family tie. Since Finnish language is hard to learn for english speakers and one has to know Finnish or Swedish to enter a university, I am thinking of living in Sweden and learning Swedish for a year and then go back to Finland to apply for a BA programme.

Sorry if my question is kind of silly for you. I would be thankful for any help though.

To live in Sweden you need Swedish RP.

Or English.

Looks to me like you know English.

Also I didn't realise that Finland really had any BA programs, and that the education level starts at the MA category.
