Are you coming to Finland this upcoming semester? Id love to know what and where you are about to study in Finland 👍
I should go next year after I finish high school. But regarding the prices I would have to work 2 years before going there because of the high cost of living. So in 3 years I might be there. :D
Also, Bachelor of Science (physics) at The University of Helsinki. I hope I will get approved. :D
@@Daniel-do2mh that sounds like an awesome plan! Have you already checked what kind of scholarships The University of Helsinki grants for the Bachelors programme in science?
I’m going to apply for a master in Banking and International Finance at Jyväskulä next year... thanks again for the resourceful video
@@emmanuelcordoba1502 Nice! I actually didn't know about this programme but it sounds really interesting 👍. Is there anything that you are wondering about the upcoming application round that you'd perhaps like me to make a video about?
Hi, Oliver! Thank you so much for your videos!) Your content is really useful. I'm gonna start my masters at Hanken School of Economics in 2 month. Hope this pandemic situation in my country (Russia) will improve, so I and won't need to stay in 2-week quarantine in Finland..
Soooo much good infos , thank you man for your work, it really enlightens us a lot, peace.
Hey Ismail and thanks so much for the positive feedback! Let me know if you have anything on your mind about the upcoming academic year or perhaps a future application period.
May God bless you, You are very detailed and precise 😊
Awesome as always :)
Thanks Alex, I appreciate this as always 👊
That’s wonderful tips and also very useful ... thumbs up 👍 superb info bro ✌️
Thanks again for the positive feedback, I appreciate you 👊.
OliverR good luck dear 👍
Kiitos paljon Oliver!
Thanks Fletch! Miten suomen kielen opettelu sujuu? 🤓
@@RoadtoFinnish Se on hyvä, vaikea kieli! (I think that's right) 🙂
@@fletch397 Pretty close. You are doing really well 👍. If someone asks you about your Finnish studies (basically how are you doing with Finnish), you can answer in the following way:
"Miten suomen kielen opiskelu sujuu?" [How are you doing with your Finnish studies?]
"Se sujuu hyvin. Suomi on vaikea kieli." [It is going well. Finnish is a difficult language]
The thing is that you could twist and turn those phrases in a million ways so there is no one correct way to answer. This is one of the things that makes Finnish so damn hard 😄. Anyways, really good effort!
@@RoadtoFinnish Okay! Thanks for the help!
Very informative sir... I want to consider Finland in my plans.. Hopefully after pandemic..
That would be great! What major have you been considering for your studies?
Thank you
You're welcome
Hi, Oliver! thank you for the good information you share I almost watched all your videos, and am coming the next semester to University of Vaasa, to study bachelor in Information technology.
Hey Ahmed and thanks so much for sharing this! First of all, congrats on being admitted to the University of Vaasa, its a great school and im sure that you are going to enjoy yourself there. Vaasa is also a lovely city and i have plenty of friends who have told awesome things about it.
Do let me know if you have any questions about moving to Finland, or perhaps suggestions for future videos and id love to help out.
@@RoadtoFinnish everything is good, just keep uploading more videos i would like to see more of finland but if you can some of from Vaasa city tour and the housing tour too. Thank you
Quick tip based on experience of my friends: if you want to use web identification via bank account, you need to order henkilökortti (Identity card) from police department. Otherwise you will have to use banking codes for each time you log in and you will be able to pay for bills only.
Good tip, thanks Mark! Another option (assuming that you are able to get a bank account + e-banking credentials) is to use your banks mobile app for the identification. These are really handy and they work for any official web identifications. Basically all Finnish banks have some sort of a mobile identification system that can be used.
how do you get a police ID card without logging in?
Another amazing video!! I will definitely have to rewatch it once it gets closer for me to move to Finland! Btw, does Aalto University require both the normal SAT and the SAT Subjective Tests for admission right? I took the SAT last year and I got 1320, but that doesn't seem like it's enough for admissions there. The biggest problem was the English section because the Math was pretty straightforward. That is the main reason why I was considering the University of Helsinki since for English requirements, they just require that we prove English Proficiency, but they don't rank us based on the English section of the SAT, only the Subjective tests.
Thanks again for the amazing content!
Hey João! So both the Data Science and Computational Engineering programmes (at Aalto University) that I told you about before require you to take the following SAT tests:
1. SAT (evidence based Reading, Writing and Mathematics sections)
2. SAT subject test in Mathematics (Level 1 or Level 2)
The minimum scores for these test last year were the following:
1. Evidence based reading, writing and math: 1200
2. Subject test in match: 650
You don't have to take a separate language test for either of these programmes because the SAT's are sufficient proof of language proficiency.
@@RoadtoFinnish Awesome! That makes more sense now! I'm pretty sure I can do very well on the SAT Subjective Tests! The biggest problem would be to increase my normal SAT grade, but I'll try my best to do it!
They accept the TOEFL as English Proficiency, right?
Thanks again Oliver!
Oh thats a good guestion. I think TOEFL is accepted but this info wasnt on the programme page since there is no need for a separate language test.
Just keep working on the SAT’s and you’ll make it. Always keep in mind that hard work pays out as the best applicants are granted a 100% or a 50% scholarship. So keep the eye on the price and i will see you in finland. Hopefully doing a free university degree 👊
@@RoadtoFinnish Awesome! I actually didn't know that! But it will be an AMAZING motivation😁! I'll keep working on the SATs and see you in Finland one way or another hahaha 👊🏻!
@@JoaoVictor-ic5gr Sounds like a plan 🤘
Hi Oliver, thanks for your video! Could you please clarify the difference between prepaid SIM and mobile subscription? I thought that "subscription" means postpaid plan that is sticked to your name and ID (in contrast to prepaid), am I right?
I've also read that even for Finnish citizens who haven't been living in Finland for a while (5+ years) and who want to buy a postpaid plan, mobile operators require a deposit that may be up to €600.
Hey Mark and thanks for the very, very good question! I only now realised how different the terminology is between the different countries so I do apologise for the confusion.
To clarify this, a prepaid is pretty much what you expect, a pre paid card that you pay for in advance for a set number of calls, texts and data usage.
A subscription means a postpaid plan exactly as you described. You get a SIM card that you keep as long as you are a customer of that operator and the SIM is tied to your personal ID. However, the difference to many e.g. American postpaid plans is that most of the plans in Finland are not billed based on your actual usage - instead you get a fixed plan. This is actually much better since the plans in Finland are almost ludicrously cheap compared to e.g. US or Canada.
To give you an example, I have a monthly subscription (postpaid plan) with Elisa that includes the following:
- 300 Mbit 5G internet with unlimited data usage
- Unlimited internet usage in other Nordic and Baltic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) without any extra fees
- Unlimited calls and SMS in Finland and in all EU and EEA countries (when im physically located in one of these countries)
- No fixed term so I can cancel or change the subscription at any point
- Monthly cost: 29,90€/month ($33,73/month)
Postpaid plans are waaaaaay cheaper in Finland compared to prepaid cards so I would absolutely not recommend a prepaid card if you can get a postpaid subscription.
I hope this answered your questions 👍
@@RoadtoFinnish Thank you for your answer! Your videos are indeed a great resource for information on how to integrate into Finnish "ecosystem", because sometimes native Finns are not aware that for foreigners some procedures (banking etc) require additional documents or other stuff.
@@hassu122 No problem at all. I love the fact that you guys are so active in the comments because this is the best way for me to elaborate on these topics. No matter how much I try to think these through and no matter how well I try to script the videos, there will always be questions that are left unanswered. The whole idea of this channel is to make some sense of these issues and im simply happy if im of any help 😅
Hey Good video, very useful!
I have a question, how do the sports works at Aalto? are classes you can take or are some student union ?
Hey Loren and thanks for the positive feedback and the good question. Im actually just about to film a video about this topic as it has been requested for a while now. But to summarise, Aalto University campus has great sport facilities that you can use as a student. Not only is there a full-on outdoors track if you are into running, but most importantly, the sports facilities are provided by the student sports facilitator Unisport. Unisport is a collaboration between Aalto University, Hanken School of Economics and University of Helsinki and they offer amazing sports facilities for students at a ridiculously cheap prices. A 12 month membership at Unisport (includes gym training, ball sports sessions,, group training classes and a booking right for ball games) is only 147€. If you get a normal gym membership at a "private" gym chain, you'll easily pay 60-70€ per month so Unisport is crazy good value for students.
Anyways, ill have a more comprehensive video about this in the near future.

@@RoadtoFinnish Thanks a lot for your help! :)
@@lorencordoba5978 of course 👍
Hi, Oliver. How does entrance examination and/or interview (if they have) go in Tampere University of Applied Sciences specifically Nursing? I am applying this coming September.
Hey Edarwin and thanks for the question. Unfortunately i have no idea about this. Ive never looked into them myself nor do i have any friends who would have done them so i literally have no idea 😅. The other issue is that universities in Finland usually do not publish previous exams or other admission related tasks / scores so its pretty much impossible to find relevant information about this. All the official information about this would be published on the website of the Tampere UAS.
Hei Oliver,
big thanks for this video. I’ve got a question to section 1 of your video. Am I right that the enrollment process for exchange students is related to the payment of the AYY fee? On Aalto‘s website I didn’t find informational regarding the enrollment of exchange student.
Sorry for this question. I‘am a bit confused at this times with orga stuff
Ach this is actually a very good question. I have to admit that I do not remember how this is done with exchange students. Enrolment is normally done at the same time with the student union (AYY) payment so I would guess that its done the same way for you as well. However, I am not 100% sure so if you cant find any information about this in your info package, please contact Aalto exchange services just to make sure.
OliverR thank you for your reply. I only know that exchange students could decide whether they want to pay the fee for AYY or not.
And yeah you’re right, feels like everything is different for exchange student programs.
However, I’m looking foreword to the start of the semester
@@nadinebest8481 If I look at this logically, I would think that there is no need to enrol as an attending student because that is kind of implied when you are admitted as an exchange student (unless you cancel the exchange) 😄. The reason why degree students have to separately enrol each year is because we have the option of being non-attending for a max duration of two years e.g. in the case you would want to work full-time in between your studies.
OliverR this makes sense ;) maybe I could leave this part out. Thanks a lot.
Hey i moved to finland last week and I'm an eit digital student, do i need to fill the notification of move as compulsory?
Hi Oliver,I'll be travelling to finland in a couple of days, hereby I would like to find out from you. Which pre paid network service provider provides a stronger signal coverage in finland. Thank you in advance🤝
Hey and thanks so much for the great question! All carriers in Finland are great and the networks are pretty much universally great all through-out the country. Internet providers are very heavily competitive in Finland so the prices are cheap while the quality of the services are very high.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Finland!
Thank you for informing everyone about studies and executing it so well, I am looking to study in Finland and I was wondering about student apartments, if I was to get accepted into one would I be able to start living there before my studies start or is it only available at first when studies start?
Hey Alelao and thanks for the great question! While the rules might vary between apartment providers, this is what i found from Hoas (one of the largest student apartment providers in the helsinki region):
”However, please note that you cannot accept the apartment before school has started and you have enrolled for your studies. If you are just starting your studies and your term begins in January, you cannot accept an apartment in December. The summer months are an exception to this: if you are beginning your studies in the autumn, you can accept an apartment already in June.”
Source (under question 6): www.hoas.fi/en/applicants/submitting-and-updating-an-application/applying-for-a-hoas-apartment/when-and-how-can-i-apply-for-a-hoas-apartment/
This is most likely how things work with most providers as their rules are pretty mich similar across the board.
OliverR Thank you so much this helps a lot because i needed to know wether or not id have time to settle down in the country. Im sorry, but i forgot to ask this in the other comment, in general how many AP classes should I complete moving from the US to Finland to have a competitive advantage against other applicants to something like a Electrical engineering Bachelors programme.
No problem at all. Can you specify a bit what you mean with AP. Not familiar with that abbreviation.
AP courses meaning advanced placement classes that count as a college
@@alelao2329 Ach this is an interesting question. To be honest, I have no idea about this because this concept doesnt really even exist in Finland. However, I could try to look into this a bit further to give you a more informed answer. Might take a while to get more info as university admission office open again on Monday.
Hey!
Thanks for information Oliver,,
I would like to ask you, I am thinking to come to Finland to start new life there. Actually I'm EU Spouse. Me and my wife wanted to travel to Finland but we don't know anyone there. Will it be difficult to register there? It would be difficult find job there? Please give me some suggestions.
Hey Oliver!
Many thanks for the video. I am coming to finland for a research study at university of Helsinki for a period of nine months) on this october. I would like to know whether I am eligible for the student card and student residents in Helsinki ?
Hey Gokul, just to clarify so that i dont give you false information: i take that you are doing your Phd?
@@RoadtoFinnish hey... The position is actually PhD. But the initial admission and funding will be only for 9 months. The fellowship name is EDUFI. Later on only it will convert to PhD. Which means my initial visa and admission will be valid for nine months only
@@gokulgovind8474 Mm in this case I do think that you are counted as a doctoral student. The reason I ask is that these things are somewhat different for bachelors and master's students compared to Phd students. In general, Phd students are usually either not allowed to apply for the normal student apartments OR they are simply not prioritised. For example, Hoas has this on their website:
"Doctorate students can apply for a Hoas apartment, but they will not have priority over other students. We can offer housing to post-graduate students only in rare cases and even then, mainly on the outer edges of the capital area. Post-graduate students cannot apply for studio apartments" (Source: www.hoas.fi/en/applicants/frequently-asked-questions/frequently-asked-questions/faq-who-can-apply-for-apartment/)
In addition, doctoral students are not entitled to FSHS services (student health services), the student discount of VR, Matkahuolto or YTV or the student meal subsidy. A doctoral student’s right to use the services of FSHS was discontinued on 1 August 2009. Some student restaurants, however, offer a slightly more inexpensive lunch by presenting the doctoral student card. (Source: www.ayy.fi/en/membership-and-student-card/doctoral-students).
However, Phd students are entitled to use the discounted student sport services at Unisport: unisport.fi/sites/default/files/media/document/Pricelist_2020-2021.pdf
You can also use the Frank Students App that I mentioned in this and other videos. However, you need to first sign up as a member of the Student Union of the University of Helsinki: hyy.fi/en/membership#jäsenmaksu
I am no 100% sure, but my logic would say that if you use the Frank App as a postgraduate student, you should also be entitled to use all the student benefits and discounts that a student card allows one to get (excluding the ones that I mentioned above).
This is a bit more complicated with postgraduates so please let me know if you want me to elaborate on something. If not, I hope that these resources clarified this enough and got you started.
@@RoadtoFinnish This really helps for me. Thanks man for the information. As a new person who is planning to visit Finland for the first time for the studies, I would seriously recommend to watch this video. I really appreciate your time effort
No problem at all! There is so much information to absorb as an international student that its no wonder that you might be a bit lost. So im just glad if this was of help.
Hi, Oliver , I wanted to know that can a international student do stock trading in finland. Thank you
Hey!
Thanks for information Oliver,
I would like to know if HOAS could adjust my apartment tenancy agreement such that it starts from my month of arrival instead of august, in case if I cannot travel to finland in august due to COVID?
Also, If I come to Helsinki in January, would it be possible for me to apply again if I had to cancel this agreement?
Hey Rupesh, Gabbuz99 asked about the same issue in a separate comment so I reached out to Hoas to ask about this. They told me that each tenant who is experiencing these kind of issues should contact them on the phone: www.hoas.fi/en/contact/
They have a specific process for these type of situations due to the current crisis and things will happen faster if you call them directly.
@@RoadtoFinnish Okay, Will call them up!
Thanks for the quick reply!
No problem! I hope everything gets sorted out 👍
OliverR And by the way, It would be awesome if you did a video talking about the sports and cultural scene in Helsinki if that’s possible!
Keep up the great work!
@@rupeshbalaji4514 that would be interesting. I have to think about how I would present this because the topic is so wide that I could talk about it for hours :D
Hey, I am a Non EU student from Nepal admitted to Aalto University and I already have a student residence permit and a housing. So, for municipality of residence, do I have to use the address of the housing I am provided with?
How do you approach a finn
Thank you again for the video as always! This one was very helpful :D
I have an unrelated question (again), I'd like to ask.
May I ask how it is living with a dog in Otaniemi? If I remember correctly you mentioned you had one as well? I was lucky enough to find somebody to apply together for an AYY apartment where I can bring my dog, and I'd like to know if there's anything one can do to prepare their dog, which items may be necessary (a muzzle for example) etc. and how you go about your day with a dog. The only apartments we can get are at most a 15 minute walk away from campus, but it would be great to know how often you usually go home to walk your doge and if you can bring the dog to campus as long as you don't take him into the building?
Thank you in advance!
I am aware that our situations differ but I thought I'd stil ask...
Hey Fiona! Once again, there are no unrelated questions here :). Actually this is a very good question that I haven't thought of myself, so here goes:
Otaniemi is a wonderful campus in that it is basically a perfect for dog owners. There are a lot of lovely forest paths and seaside trails where you can walk with your dog. Sure, most campus buildings are out of bounds for dogs, but this is not going to be an issue at all since there are no reasons to go there with a dog anyways.
Our dog is old enough to stay at home through-out the day so we basically walk her once in the morning before going to work or school and then twice after we come back home. I live much closer to the center of Helsinki but we do also have some lovely places to go walk the dog. Finland also has a lot of dog "parks" (koirapuisto in Finnish) which are fenced areas where people can unleash their dogs to play with each other. In my understanding there are no koirapuisto in Otaniemi, but I might be mistaken.
In regards of preparing your dog / yourself for a life with a dog in Finland. First of all, you need to make sure to get all the proper paperwork and vaccinations for your dog before moving to Finland. Im sure you have this already in order and I actually cant even help you with it since ive never moved to an other country with a dog so I don't know what steps to take. Secondly, I would just make sure that you make sure your dog comfortable in your new home before you leave him/her in your apartment for long periods of time. This will make the transition easier for you both.
In Finland you can pretty much travel with almost all public transports with a dog. Do note that trains and metros have "dog free" compartments. These are usually marked on the outside of the train or metro as a picture of a dog (if its just a dog it means that they are allowed, but a dog crossed over is dogs are not allowed). Please make sure to use these compartments. If you travel with train inside of Helsinki, you can just choose this kind of a compartment when jumping in, but if you buy train tickets for a longer trip, you need to specifically buy a "dog owner" ticket so that you are arranged a seat in one of these compartments.
Most taxis will not allow dogs so make sure to ask this before jumping in.
Other important stuff to take into account:
1. There is no need to use a muzzle with your dog in Finland. I would actually advice against them anyways as they might have a negative impact on the dogs behaviour. Barking is normal and unless you know your dog is aggressive against others, there is no need to get a muzzle (an exception: if you fly with your dog, the airline might require a muzzle so make sure to check this)
2. In Finland it is against the law to keep your dog unleashed when walking them unless you are on private property or inside these "koirapuisto" fenced areas. A very small amount of people do keep their dogs unleashed but they are usually shamed by other dog owners to leash their dogs.
3. Just make sure to pick up after you dog so you don't piss of all of your neighbours.
These were all the things that I could think of right now 👍
@@RoadtoFinnish Thank you for your extensive reply! I will take this helpful information into account. I do have to say that the lack of muzzles makes me Happy, I was afraid he'd need one as he's quite tall. Is it allowed to cycle with your dog? He's always been a free running dog, so I anticipate that that will be necessary to get out exess energy.
Again, much obliged!
@@merileopardisaksassa7030 Cycling with your dog is ok but I would just be careful with that especially in the beginning when you are familiarising yourself with Otaniemi and the different paths and roads. When you have a good idea of where people and cars move, im sure that is going to an option 👍.
Thanks Oliver!
Quick question: do you know how long it takes for the DVV to register one's municipality of residence? I'm hearing that some people had to wait for 6~8 weeks. If this is true, is it possible to get a discounted price for the travel card before one is registered into the DVV system?
Great question, but unfortunately I don't know the answer to this. I would recommend contacting the DVV about this (e.g. if they have a chat bot on their website). These are those kind of small details that I haven't had to deal with myself..
Btw, thanks again for hanging in the stream! Had a great time 👍
@@RoadtoFinnish No problem! Thank you for the information.
Hi, yesterday I received an offer for an HOAS apartment and I would like to accept it, but I have some problems that might prevent me from moving to Finland. What happens if I accept the offer and then decide to terminate the agreement after 2-3 weeks? (The contract starts from August 1st)
Hey and thanks for the question! Im so sorry to hear that things are not certain at the moment. Am I right in assuming that these problems are due to the current Covid-19 crisis? I could reach out to Hoas and ask about this but I need to know the circumstances in order to get correct information.
@@RoadtoFinnish Yes, the Covid-19 is a big factor for this uncertainty, but also some problems have come up in my Family and I won't know if this problem are solved until next 2-3 weeks

How to get student meal at 2.70 € ? I'm diploma student
Are we entitled to phone subscription discounts in Frank App without registering as a student, because to register you need Finnish banking credentials ?
Yes you can still use the Frank App even if you dont have a Finnish personal ID. Frank states the following on their website frequently asked questions page:
_You can still verify yourself as a student to our service! Just select "No Finnish personal ID number?" and our service offers you the option to verify yourself with a student number and your last name. Please note that your last name must be written exactly as it's in our register. If you have any problems, contact us on info@__frank.fi__._
However, please note that if your studies are starting on the upcoming Autumn semester, you can verify your status at earliest at the beginning of August (August 1st 2021). If you cannot verify your status right away, please try again later. A lot of students are going to verify their status on that day and there might be some issues in the verification, so just stay patient.
For any other questions about the student card, please visit Frank's FAQ page: www.frank.fi/en/faq/
@@RoadtoFinnish thank you for your reply. I have a Finnish personal identification code (henkilötunnus) but it’s just that I don’t have Finnish banking credentials yet. When you try to prove you are student from the app it asks your banking credentials.
So please which bank is the best!
There are plenty of great banks and the good thing is that the costs telated to banking services are pretty much the same at every bank (not exactly but it will not make a huge difference). I could recommend e.g. OP, Nordea or Danske Bank. I am or have been a customer with each of them.
Thanks

@@RoadtoFinnish Like bro personally I wanted to ask u that,How difficult it is to find a part time job for international students without knowing Finnish language?
@@shahedislam1396 This depends quite a lot on your field and how far you are in your studies. But to summarise, finding a part time job in the beginning of your studies (e.g. during your 1st and 2nd year) is very hard because most companies (in your own field) hire more experienced students as they always prefer to hire near grads or recent grads.
This means that in your first years, it is most likely for students to find part time jobs in the service sector (restaurants, caffes or grocery stores). However, the majority of these jobs require fluent Finnish skills because the clientele is mostly Finnish. There are exceptions, of course, but there aren't that many of them.
So to summarise, it is very hard to find a part time job in Finland in the start of your studies. This is not only for international students but it also applies to Finnish students as well.
