Studies and Jobs in Helsinki

Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for writing to me.

Hi, I am preparing for studies in #############  for Masters in ########### as I have been accepted in this University. I guess this University is good.

1) Do you have any idea how to obtain health insurance. Is it good to take from Nepali insurance company or other European insurance company?

Health insurance should cover up to € 30000 for one year. You can do it on insurance companies of Kathmandu OR using online insurance services if you can buy online. If you have any friend/relative abroad, ask them to buy it from https://www.schengen-visa-insurance.com/, since it is the cheapest one I have known yet. It would cost about 50-100 Euro per year depending upon your age. 

If you want to do it in Kathmandu, Everest Insurance also provides customized health insurance service for Finland for 250 USD per year. 

2) I want to focus my studies well and also want to generate at least living expense in Helsinki, is it possible to get a job in first 6 months?

May be. But, I suggest you to focus on studies primarily since you are coming for Master's degree, your studies will keep you fully occupied. Though, it is very tough to get a job even in Helsinki, I feel, you can find something in 6 months to make your living.

Should I come to Lappeenranta?

Hello,
I have recently selected as a master's student in Lappeenranta University of Technology. Now I need some practical information as listed below:
1. Education quality at LUT.
2. States of international students.
3. Job availabilities during study.

Hope you can help me in these case. Badly in need of these information. Awaiting for your reply.


Dear Friend,
To summarize in one sentence, Think TWICE before coming to Lappeenranta. Let me answer your query as a whole. Lappeenranta University of Technology does not have good reputation among international students. It is heard to be keeping deaf eyes towards international students. However, its education quality is considered in average while comparing with other average European universities. But, this university can not be compared with other good universities of Finland due to their non international friendly policies and behaviors in action.

But, LUT's Business Department holds a good reputation and international friendly.

Jobs are very difficult in Lappeenranta. Similar with other smaller towns of Finland, it holds very less probabilities of getting jobs, almost impossible during your studies.
