I am non EU citizen Ie.Asian County. I am from Nepal. I am undergraduate students in finance (3 years) from my home country; that is to say I would be likely to finish the undergraduate in finance programme this year 2009 intake and I am planning to study in Finland for my further studies 2009 intake. There is no doubt there is four years undergraduate programme in Finland. I would like to transfer my credits form my home country to Finland for my completeness of my undergraduate in Finland and master degree, is it be possible with the same visa?
I have heard IELTS is compulsory to study in Finland, is it so?
I am served for UNHCR for more than 2 years; is this experiences help?
The information I would like to know; the queries are:
•Right time/application intake in this year 2009 for studying in Finland for international students.
•How to choose the right colleges/universities
•Right and affordable cost for the colleges/universities although the tuition fee is free of cost; is it applicable for transfer students? What is the minimum credits do international students need for transfer at undergraduate level or master’s level?
•No of hours work permit for international students in Finland?
•Scholarships/financial aid for transfer international students.
•Do visa is provided for one year or for the whole period of study?
•Student visa to resident permit in Finland, is it possible? How?
best

Re: Transfer to Fininsh business colleges
I haven't seen anyone here with credit transfer. Perhaps, it's easy among European students as their credits can easily be calculated because of their credits uniformity (ECTS). It's better you contact individual education institution for information in this regard.
About other info, refer the link posted above. You will get sufficient knowledge and other links there. At the same time, I try to answer your queries in short.
- Yes. For Non-EU students (except those students with degrees from English speaking countries) must have valid English test score to be eligible for admissions.
- To get into bachelor degrees, you don't need work experience. It's applicable only in case of masters (from polytechnics) and it requires 3 years of working experience after your bachelors, not prior. So, you won't be qualified for masters at least at polytechnics for few years from now.
- For 2009, it starts from January 12th-February 13th, 2009, so go for IELTS/TOEFL but remember to make sure you get the test score before deadlines or else forget 2009 intake.
- It's not about right colleges, it's first about right courses at right cities/locations since you will want to work also. All colleges are good. Best tertiary education in the world
- Forget about masters level at the moment. You are not qualified for that, at least until you complete your bachelors. Living cost is 6000 euro per year unless your school pays you some allowances.
- 20/25 hours legally.
- Ask individual school for scholarship/financial aid and for credit transfer, except select few courses, no financial aid.
- It's resident permit, not visa that is issued for students, mostly one year at a time.
- Just resident permit for students, visa for perspective students coming here for entrance exam.

Re: Transfer to Fininsh business colleges
Yes for EU citizens it works if you have solid proof. I've done my transfer from French AMK type of school to Finnish AMK thanks to a very details study plan from my French school which was translated into English by a profeesional translation agency (60 pages doc explaining what we learnt and how + summary of each course) but non-EU citizens I have no idea.
