Both of these study programmes are taught in English, and we have students from five continents, so the studying atmosphere is very international.

What do these AMAZING study programmes cost? Nothing, at least if you're a citizen of the EU. Finland is a nice, quiet country, and the level of education is considered to be one of the best in the world. The TAMK Mediapolis campus is by a lakeside, some 15 minutes by bus from the city center of Tampere. Tampere itself is a vibrant student city, 160 km from the Finland's capital Helsinki, with a lot to do for young people. And almost everybody knows how to speak English.

(Notice how the Finnish weather wasn't mentioned at all... You can look it up if you really want to know and don't know about it already. It can be very nice here in the summer, lots of daylight. Often we don't even get snow during summer.)
