well, yes. Thank you.
I have one point to consider and ask advise. I know it's easy to apply for universities in Finland for same field or program as previous education (in my case - Geography). However, I am looking to extend my knowledge and that's why business programs also in consideration.

Does anyone switch their education background completely in Finland? I mean anyone who has education outside of Finland in one filed was accepted for study in Finland in not related to first education filed? Or universities in Finland so strict about it?

Well, if you study "out of your discipline" you basically have to study a lot of the basic stuff from the other disciplines the bachelor -master path. Depending what their required courses are.
