Dramatic rise in applications for English-language degree courses
Finnish institutes of higher education have received 10,000 more applications for study places on English-language courses compared to last year, with nursing programmes proving to be particularly popular.
The number of students applying to study English-language degree programmes at universities and polytechnics in Finland has increased significantly this year compared to 2021, according to a report published on Thursday by the Finnish National Agency for Education.
In total, over 33,000 people applied for a place on courses that begin in the autumn. Last year, that figure was just over 22,000.
The most popular English-language programmes during this application period, which closed on Wednesday, proved to be the Bachelor of Health Care (Nursing) courses.
The largest number of applications were received by the nursing course at JAMK University of Applied Sciences in Jyväskylä, with some 2,285 hopeful applicants vying for admission. This means that there are 57 applicants for each study place on the course.
The odds of getting a place on a similar course at the Novia University of Applied Sciences near the city of Vaasa are even longer, with 70 applicants battling it out for each available place after the institution also received over 2,000 applications.
Competition for places on arts courses will also be hard-fought, with 1,151 applicants choosing the University of the Arts Helsinki's acting course as their first option. The course offers just 12 starting places.
