Moving back to Finland?

Post by corpulent » Wed May 04, 2011 10:09 pm

I moved from Finland to England 2 years ago.
I´m in year 11 doing my GCSE and I got my first exams in one week time.
I have planned to stay here in England for sixth form,
however, after that I would like to move back to Finland and go to university (in Helsinki).
But I have heard that if I would move back to Finland to go to university I have to complete a third year of collage. Is this true ?
If this statement is true what do you actually do on the third year ?
My A-level subjects are Biology, Maths, German and Business Studies (which I´m likely to drop as in England you normally drop one subject after the first year of sixth form). In university I would love to study Psychology as I want to be a clinical psychologist.

I know that there are still 2 years till this big decision and a lot can change over that time but I would like to know what would happen if I would move back to Finland?
Thank you :D

How is your Finnish?
The Bachelor and the Master degree programmes can be completed only in the Finnish language.
