Want to know about deadline of colleges in Finland

dear Friend,

I am <>, a Nepalese student who is want to pursue my bachelor in Finland. I have completed my +2 level exam in commerce faculty with 76% and looking for the international bachelor in Finland colleges and universities. i want to know about the deadlines of universities and colleges because most of them are already closed from Feburary 15 2008. Do i get chance to apply now or I have wait for next year and I had read that the admission open for twice a year for polytechnic.

Dear Friend, Thank your for writing to me. I am always happy to help my Nepalese friends to solve their queries related to education and related issues for Finland.

Unfortunately, you are bit late to apply for Bachelor. Still some polytechniques might open applications if they did not receive enough applications during previous application period. But, its really uncertain that whether they would open again or not. But, if you want to study, Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art, Graphics Design, Culture and Sociology related subjects, there are still few polytechnique which will announce application period at the end of the March. If you are looking for Business or IT related courses in Finland, keep the eyes open, polytechniques might announce second phase of application period anytime during end of March to mid of April. But, you won't be able to apply for universities now since they hardly re-announce application period enough if they did not get enough applications.

Yes, its true that Polytechniques open application twice a year. But, remember, only few of the polytechniques take two intakes a year. So, it means, only few colleges will announce the admission two times and admit students. August intake is the primary intake for Finland for which the deadline are over by this February 15. Every college takes students for this August intake. But, only few colleges take intake for January intake for which application period falls in mid of August to end of September depending upon the college. And, more important fact is that these January intakes are designed for exchange students so only few new degree seeking students are admitted during January intake.

So, best solution for you might be, keep your eyes open on polytechnique's website for second phase of admission process; apply on September as well for January session and if you did not get admission till then, you can wait for another year. Let's hope, you would get a chance on applying on second phase of application process. You can find the list of polytechniques and their website by clicking on this link.
