Why choose Finland as your exchange destination?
Both Finland and Helsinki have been ranked as the world’s best places to live in (Finland in 2010 by Newsweek, Helsinki in 2011 by Monocle) and Finland enjoys one of the highest standards of living. Finland has proven to have the best education system in the world as it has consistently performed at the top of an international test known as PISA (The Programme for International Student Assessment) over the past decade. Success also in other rankings such Transparency International and Global Peace Index assures that Finland is a safe and stable place to study and live in.
Safe and stable does not, however, mean boring - in Finland you can experience the Scandinavian identity with a twist! A fresh mixture of East and West, we have fairytale-like snowy winters, the Northern Lights, the amazing archipelago and beautiful midnight sunlight in the summer!
