Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
Hi there.
I have studied marketing (applied science) in Turkey for one and a half year. As a foreigner with a staying permit, what rights (for education) would I have in finland?

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
Well you can try to get admitted.
You can study here, but the schools are not obliged to admit you.
You have to be better than the other candidates.
When you get in, you can try Kela for a hand out.
If you get it depends completely on the situation.
(and Kela is the champion organisation for refusing)

Thank you for information.
I have some other questions.
How will they compare candidates?
Finnish language skills? Previous education & diploma?

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
All the stuff you need to know for the study you are going to follow.
Some studies also ask questions about stuff they are going to teach you.
They expect self study beforehand.

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
depends on what/where you apply. in a polytechnic it might be just an aptitude test, for university its a book test on materials... engineering or such usually advance calculus test and physics... if you want to study in English then you must have the TOEFL or the IELTS certificates to pass your English first...

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
well, I actually want to study in Finnish because of a faster adaptation to Finland and I think it would help me much more than english in my work life (is that right?)
I think the entrance test that you described, is the entrance test of "ammatti-instituutti" and again as I know, there is a one year "preparing school" for immigrants in ammatti-instituutti. (Valmistava Koulutus Nuorille Maahanmuuttajille)
will there be only finnish language test in the entrance of VKNM ? or will there be any other kind of tests? and what's the level of that (finnish language) entrance test for VKNM?

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
Well thats more like vocational training, so I suppose to them it is enough to have some ordinary level of Finnish. If you really wish to then study in Finnish - then you should maybe take some classes say at an iltalukio www.eiraedu.fi

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
first of all I should have said that my wife is a Finnish and we both want to live & work in Finland so that's why I really want to study in Finnish. I can say that it would be my first choice if I have chance to study in Finnish. I'm in Turkey now but I'm studying Finnish language already. I have two Finnish grammar books. I even study Finnish more than my current subjects at the university 
and Pursuivant, thank you for the link, it looks very useful and I hope it's going to help me in future.. My wife and her parents are researching for me a lot but you know, I want to do something too

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
well it is at "what level" - if you apply for one of the polytechnics for "international business" you can study and get a degree - but they make about 14 and a baker gives a few extra for that. you need a "real job degree" - anyone can market internationally there is nothing to market so you end up asking hot or mild sauce with the salad if you get lucky. if you want a good degree in a good school - that is then hard or easy depending what you do. but right now there is too many high educated people coming to the market with useless master degrees so theres inflation... the adult education is good in Finland so it is not like you have to study a degree at 20, you can do it at 30...
PS find me a DVD of "Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda" and I give free Finnish lessons.

Re: Education life for an immigrant with staying permit
I think my Finnish is not good enough for any kind of school , yet. so I think that in Finland, my first step will be attending a Finnish course.
