How to apply for a Bachelor's Degree in Finland
Becoming a Finnish citizen should not be easy. It entitles a person to a wide variety of things, not only in Finland but in all Nordic countries and the EU as well. Finnish citizenship also comes with certain obligations, for example national service, and personal reliability and loyalty is key for proper fulfillment of these obligations. A Finnish passport is also a powerful travel document that grants visa-free access to most countries, and yet it generally doesn't attract government attention anywhere. They simply cannot be handed out like Burger King coupons, especially in today's unstable security environment. However, I'm glad that hard-working, honest and determined people who intend to stay and contribute in Finland in the long term can obtain them. Congratulations to you!
You can do it from No-EU country ? I want to learn Finnish language in open university online?
Great content. Many thanks
Thanks for making these videos.. Appreciate your frank and balanced outlook.
Moi Dasha, thank you for all the useful resources you shared with us. I would appreciate a video specifically covering the yki test preperation for complete beginners of Finnish language
Thank you for watching and for video suggestion! I will try to get back to filming videos soon!
Can you please make a video regarding Finnish new law about permanent residence card without resorting unemployment benefits…?
I'll try my best to film a video next week
Going for appointment tomorrow, hopefully I share my good news soon. I have to get ready to explain a lot of my travel with my fin husband, I will take a lot of pictures with me 😁
Best of luck Kathy! How did the appointment go?

I am Italian, I will graduate from high school in july, am I forced to lose a whole year to make the application in january of the next year? or can I send it before I actually graduate from high school?
You can send it before you graduate from high-school
Please do make more videos regarding bottles recycling in finland
I am not sure if there is any more to what is already in the video :)
Thank u. Quite an informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Love those Tomra R1’s (that’s the machine that eats all your returnables at once). The Tomra T-9 (the single-feed machine next to this one) is also quite fast, albeit a bit more work and mess. (I’m in Norway and do this all the time, quite profitable)
How can I register?!!!!
You need to check web-pages of each particular university
Dying language, so sad. Fortunately I'll be long gone before arabic or some african languages become official.
i guess people never learn from mistakes... the open borders which allowed uncontrolled migr__tion to europe was the worst devision ever.. we lost our culture and we did not get more "workers" but more criminality and so on... please finland do not think you need migration to solve your birthrate problem.. just make babys.. because you will get repl@@ced
☺Kiitos, että jaat näkemyksesi &On kunnia tutustua sinuun🐳☁☀Toivotan sinulle menestystä kaikessa, mitä teet työelämässäsi
Kiitos paljon!
I really liked your video, I'm still beginning my suomen kielen kurssi and it's inspiring to listening your story
Amazing!!!
Youve come a long way! Happy for U
Its too late now .😊
hahaha same 😂
Really 😂
In Espoo you don't have to climb up the mountains to find snow for winter activities like you have to do in more southern parts of Europe or more close to ocean shorelines. And if you miss show, Lapland has a much longer skiing season. There are also indoor skiing facilities in southern Finland, thought they haven't been always open throughout the summer.
Good contribution!
Hello from Russia. In such funny times as today, it is especially interesting to learn about the life of people in Finland. And at the same time, I want to attract interest in the history of this country, since I collect coins of the Principality of Finland, when the country was part of the Russian Empire until 1917. I will be glad to hear your opinions under my new video on this topic, and I would like to find like-minded people on the topic from Finland, to see the antique shops of this country. I will be glad!))
How easy it is for me as a native english speaker whose coming to tampere and how fast it is❣️
You earlier had a comment where you mentioned vocational studies and English being your 1st language. You had written it in a form which makes me remind you that using English in a very liberal way, that is what native speakers mostly do, isn't necessarily a good thing using English with non native speakers or others using other dialects. Deviations from the more standard English makes it more difficult for others to understand you. You don't need to speak RP to be understood, but one better be aware of one's own dialect and adjust it if necessary. Just listening how others speak can give some hints of what could be more familiar and easier for them. And of course the reverse effect is also there. For you the dialects you hear might be strange and difficult.
@@just42tube i mean to say theres one lang that i speak primerily as my first lang and basic suömi,norsk,svenske i mean to inquire wheater i need more proficency in suömi or this much would do im const learning them everyday and how is the part time job space for non eu int students
@@just42tube id love to hear back
@@krishna_pandey24 Given that the spelling of Suomi seemed to be unknown to you, I would say that having some basic skills wound help even a tourist, and more so anyone planning to do something in Finland. Svenska eller skandinaviska behöver du inte riktigt. Men det hjälper också. Men Norska hjälper inte, tror jag. Since Finnish, Suomenkieli in Finnish, is the majority language also locally in Tampere/Tammerfors, it gives the most leverage in finding local part-time or permanent employment.
@@krishna_pandey24 You asked 'how fast it is" and I didn't have enough context to understand what _it_ means in this question. You also asked about easiness, which is mostly a subjective feeling. Difficulty depends on your individual circumstances, on your own abilities and how you have learned to handle challenges in your life.
My first lang is eng im coming to study a vocatinol course in tampere would i get a job qnd like how soon or easily
Hi! Depends on what you are willing to do, I believe waitering or cleaning jobs could be quite easy to get but I would still suggest that you reserve 3-6 months for first job hunt.
Is it necessary to submit CV in Finnish language or just English?
As a rule of thumb, you should send CV in English if a job ad is in English and in Finnish if the job ad is in Finnish. Unless it is specified in the job ad what language you should use in your documents. Hope this helps :)
The purpose of working beside your studies, which is the main occupation for a full-time student, for most people is to monetize your time and skills to get income. A long time ago, before the nowadays probably more common platform economy, some students organized themselves into cooperatives or small businesses. These where not startups is the current meaning since the business idea was just to help sell work and skills that advanced students could deliver. You already had to have some marketable skills to get in. This offered a kind of soft landing to work-life from student life where you had supported yourself by student benefits and student loans or whatever funding you could get. This was somewhat common at least in the information technology sector. I can imagine situation is different nowadays and different disciplines have always had different situations.
Great video!
I'm happy for you. Good luck in your journey my friend
Mam I'm currently studying master's in Data Science in UK 🇬🇧 and I wanted to move to Finland and do you recommend me to study master's again in Finland if I don't find Job and I wanted to settle in Finland forever mam 🙏 you are my Inspiration forever mam 🥰
I tried Larkkulla and it was terrible for me, lots of money wasted and did not learn much, also felt super stressed and disrespected... but ilmonet helped a lot! I also did the open uni with helsinki uni and it was ok too.

My wife is student in Finland on b type permit..does that count? After how long she can apply for citizenship?
Yes, but the time lived on B type counts as half of the years required for citizenship, how long - it really depends on her situation and how fast she can move to A permit.
Congratulations for the citizenship. You are one of us now. I hope this land and its people will treat you well.
Kiitos!
If you are an asset to the country, it's extremely difficult. If you come from Africa or Middle-east, just walk in. Who cares?
appreciate this Dasha :)
I like you when you said, my name is still Dasha :)
Hi Dasha, I am Chetna, I just finished watching all of your videos in a row today, I really want to meeet you and know more about you , I am here in Helsinki and on same journey as you. Thanks for sharing your journey in here and many more wishes to you and your future. I hope to see you in person soon. Take care
Hi Chetna, nice to meet you! Are you studying or working in Helsinki? Let's hope I can organize a meeting for this community some time soon :) Thank you for the kind words, all the best to you!
And is Prisma an expensive grocery store? Can you do Lidl?
Prisma and Lidl are on about same level, but good idea, will try to make video from Lidl!
@@makingitinfinland looking forward to it! Kiitos
Define "Like"...We have a complete shambles of a system just introduced in Ireland, even though we where already recycling plastics in a home collection service we still have to continue to pay for!!
The Irish system was arguably rushed and as with all new deposit return systems, the startup is messy and there’s goofs to clear out. Finland has had this for ages, same with Norway, Sweden and Denmark + a bunch more.

The criterias for getting finnish citizenship should be much MUCH stricter. Many people from outside Europe show no respect for Finnish laws, regulations, customs and the Finnish way of life. Such newcomers should be removed from Finland at their own expense. Regardless of your nationality, skin color, religion or sexual orientation, You are welcome in Finland if you do not commit crimes, work, pay taxes and live a respectful life. Most often Finnish people tend to like more Asian people than people from muslim countries. Why? Because Asian people adapts the finnish lifestyle easier, they do not commit crimes and they are hard workers. This is valid for most asians in Finland, allthough, there are exceptions. Muslims are mostly...not all, but mostly, the opposite of that. They have very hard to adapt the finnish lifestyle, they don't respect our laws, they build their own paralell societies and they are violent. We don’t want criminals in Finland.
I think you are looking more Finnish than Slavic. Maybe your roots are from Finland.

How strange we all dont want invasion here..

Of course not, you apply for citizenship based on sufficient amount of years lived in the country
