    This young man is on the ball and doing well. He knows how to put out alot of info in a entertaining/interesting way. You listen to his whole video no matter how long because he is not boring. The school should put out his videos to recruit and inform new and potential students. It would be a help to parents as well to ease their minds before sending their child off and it will let them know it's gonna be money well spent.

      😅 thanks for the lovely feedback. This collaboration with Aalto University is pretty much intended to do what you said - to give perspective and inform prospective students and their parents about Finland as a destination. I started to originally make these videos because I honestly think that Finland has one the best education system in the world and more international students should be able to benefit from it.
      While the quality of education and life here is top notch, the issue for many seems to be that information about different topics is all over the place. My idea for this fix this problem and id love to get some constructive feedback about the videos, how to communicate the information etc.. I know that, for example, some of the educational terminology in the US is different from continental Europe (e.g. we don't really use the term college) and this might be somewhat confusing so please let me know if I can improve my videos to be more concise or clear 👍

I saw on the website that completing them gives you a right to automatically continue to a relative Masters program at Aalto uni.

    Thank you so much for the info mate. You are doing awesome job and god will bless you for that. I have two questions for you at the same time: 1. my brother is completing his BSC CSIT course within a year and I am planning to suggest him to apply there for masters in data science, how is the course and it's scope, the fee . 2. I have completed my MBA with Finance specialization and phd is quite complex and lengthy procedure to apply, so I am thinking of doing masters in economics (fees and scope after the completion) as you are doing this course so that i could do it first and forge for phd later on. As, one of my brother is already in Finland studying construction engineering. Please, response my queries so that I could make my decision quickly .

    Hi Oliver,
    I have a question about Aalto. I am looking to get into Aalto this year in the bachelor program of international business.
    I see on their website that the minimum sat score last year was 1320. If we consider the last year's sat score required to get in, what should I aim for above the minimum SAT to get a 100% scholarship? Like would a 1450 be enough for a 100% scholarship?
    Any help would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks

    • @RoadtoFinnish
      @RoadtoFinnish  Pƙed 4 lety +3

      Hey and thanks for the question. Unfortunately I don't have any details about the threshold for a 100% scholarship. The university does not publish these numbers and since Finnish students don't apply using SAT, I don't have any personal experience in the matter. Aalto states this on their website:
      "Aalto University Scholarship programme seeks to recognise talented non-EU/EEA students. Aalto University scholarships are merit-based and are granted on a competitive basis. The number of scholarships per degree programme is limited and depends on the overall number of selected non-EU/EEA students per degree programme." Source: www.aalto.fi/en/admission-services/scholarships-and-tuition-fees
      ☝ this would indicate that you should aim for as high of a SAT score as you possibly can. Since the scholarships are granted on a competitive basis, the threshold will chance each year depending on individual applicants and the overall level of their SAT scores.
      Sorry for not being able to give you any more details, but I hope that this clears the confusion at least a bit.
      Best of luck with your application process, I do hope you get it! If you have anything to ask about the studies, please let me know. My bachelor was a bit different from the one you applied for, but im sure ill be able to answer most of your questions regarding studies.

    hi can you please make a video explaining major minor and electives at aalto univeristy

    • @RoadtoFinnish
      @RoadtoFinnish  Pƙed 2 lety

      This is basically the same in every university BUT whether you will have separate major and a minor programmes depends on the university programme that you apply to. A major is basically your main subject that you spend the most time studying. Your minor is a secondary subject that you take alongside your major. While you will also study a certain amount of courses for your minor, the amount is significantly less than for your major. These are just ways to specify two subjects that you specialise in. One is your main subject (major) and the other is your secondary subject (minor). Cant figure out any other way to explain this 😅

Im trying to ramp up production to once a week so that I could talk about more topics. If you have anything you've been wondering, please tell me.
      Also, your Finnish is really good :D. I usually don't even expect people to try and learn the language so I do appreciate everyone who is at least trying. So huge props for the effort 👍

      Thanks for the kind words! I'd like to do a B2 exam next year maybe, I'm Hungarian so fortunately Finnish is a lot easier for me than for non-finno-ugric people. Your vocabulary is still really different, but at least the grammar and pronunciation are easy :D
      I always missed an in-depth info video about the different guilds and associations in Aalto. Now that I'm studying here, I believe I've learnt most of the important stuff about these different clubs. But I would have been happy if I knew that I would get into AS with Digital Systems and Design for example, so a few words about the guilds who are accepting the new English bachelor's would be nice. I'm in a couple of clubs, and I think the guild and the different associations are a major part of student life, I believe it would be truly useful and interesting.
      Thank you for your work and help for applicants! Have a great day!:)

    • @RoadtoFinnish
      @RoadtoFinnish  Pƙed 4 lety +1

      Oh that's interesting. Ive heard that grammar in Finnish is close but I had no idea it would be that much easier. I think I might have mentioned this once in a different video, but most Finns do not expect anyone to learn the language. We know that it can be super hard. However, in general everyone appreciates anyone who puts in the effort to learn at least the basics. I will most likely talk more about this in the future, but putting the time to learn Finnish is really good for your future career. I don't mean that you would actually need the language, but many recruiters and hiring managers see it as a huge plus since they also understand how much time you've had to put in to learn the language.
      Funny that you mentioned clubs and guilds. Im currently working on a video talking about them in general. I thought that id start with explaining student organisations in Finland in general and only after that looking at individual clubs and activities. There are so many clubs and guilds that its hard to cover all of them with the time I have :D.

    2) Maybe you know someone, who is majoring in quantum computing? If so, can they say, if this is a rellay great course, or just a hype?

      @m.b.9026 Pƙed 4 lety +1

      I am taking Digital Systems and Design, and I've heard that Quantum technology BSc is quite good, but if you happen to don't like it for some reason you can easily switch courses at the end of the first semester. Take a look at this, it contains all the courses that you will have in QT as well as the ones you should take first year. into.aalto.fi/display/enbsctech/Quantum+Technology+2018-2020 The first semester things are mostly mathematics so it's easy to go to a different bachelor from the second semester, but I think you'll like it :).
      I don't think there are statistics, OliveR has two great videos on the topic, and you can find some info on the webpage, but afaik, they aren't doing statistics of that. czcams.com/video/x1OIWwH5gA0/video.html
      czcams.com/video/x78pxrqxSek/video.html
      Also don't worry if they don't send too many e-mails, if you get the confirmation e-mail about your application they will only send things if there is a problem, and I got the offer in June. So if there are no problems you might not get anything between these two e-mails, but don't freak out as I did :D.
      I hope you both guys get in, and I'll be seeing you sometimes in some parties maybe:) Good luck!

      About the scholarships. What I've understood is that the amount of scholarships awarded changes year-by-year so there isn't a fixed number. Also it is my understanding that Aalto University doesn't publish the numbers on this topic. If they did, im sure they would have the stats visible on their website.

      Hey vinoth kumar and thanks for the great questions! Also sorry for the late response. Ive been absolutely bombarded with comments and it takes me quite a while to get back to everyone.
      Yes, Aalto university is the best university in Finland if you want to do a Master's degree in Data Science. This also means that if you graduate with a Master's in Data Sciences from Aalto you will have really good career prospects in the future. So i would not be worried at all about work if you are admitted to Aalto. You do have to work hard to find those first jobs in your field but the further you get in your studies, the easier it gets. If you are interested in learning more about career development in Finland, i really recommend that you watch this interview that i did with Steven ter Horst about career development for international talent. Steven is a super experienced Dutch entrepreneurs and he used to work at the top management level at multiple global companies. Steven gave some super important tips about career development that all international students (regardless of the school they study in) should know. You can watch the interview here: czcams.com/video/iCtzybVRz6Y/video.html
      Also, if you are interested in learning more about career development in Finland, i do recommend that you join our Discord server. the idea of the server is to build a community of people interested in studying and working in Finland. On the server i post updates about future videos and live streams and we have a bit more personal dialogue between the subscribers and me.

    hi thanks for the video, i would like to ask how important Finnish/Swedish language skill is when it comes to getting a job after graduating? (assuming a typical foreign student who speaks english but not fluent Finnish/Swedish) i mean the importance of being able to speak at least one local language.

    • @RoadtoFinnish
      @RoadtoFinnish  Pƙed 3 lety +7

      Hey and thanks for the question. Ive actually received this questions so many times that im most likely going to make a separate video about it in the near future. While this topic is a bit more complicated than what I might make it sound, I have to simplify it a bit because I cant really write an essay in the comments 😀.
      So while Finland has two official languages (Finnish and Swedish), learning Swedish rather than Finnish doesnt really do that much good unless you apply for very specific positions or companies. This is because while Swedish is an official language, it is still a minority language and the official working language of the vast majority of companies in Finland is either Finnish or English. This doesnt say, however, that learning Swedish doesnt have its benefits - it definitely has. However, it should not be your priority in my opinion.
      So if you want to learn a local language, you should definitely learn Finnish. While ive mentioned multiple times in my videos that one does not need Finnish in order to do well in Finland, it does definitely help. Again, I have to simplify this a bit, but what is important to understand is that the closer you work to customers, the more likely it is that a job requires Finnish language skills. This is why many international students find it very difficult to find any part time jobs in the service sector (e.g. shops, cafes or grocery stores). While most Finns speak fluent English, these day-to-day services still require you to speak Finnish in order to serve all customers.
      So while it might be difficult to find a part time job without speaking at least some Finnish, this gets much easier the further you get in your studies. As a rule of thumb, the more specialised your skillset, the less Finnish is needed (with some exceptions like non-specialised medical care etc. - again, where you are in contact with customers). Finland is a very international country and most of our goods and services are exported, thus, most corporations and many small and medium size companies have English as their working language. Also, there is a thriving startup culture in Finland and we are producing some of the most interesting startups in Europe and in the world. Almost every single successful startup in FInland has built their strategy around internationality - meaning that their working language is English.
      *To summarise*
      - Even though Swedish is an official language, it is still a minority language and you should prioritise learning Finnish.
      - Finding a part time job in the service sector most likely will require you to speak Finnish and this makes it hard to find a job as an international student in the beginning of your studies
      - The further you get in your studies and the more specialised positions you apply for, the less likely it is that Finnish is required
      I hope this answers your question. Let me know if something was left unclear of if you want me to elaborate on something a bit more 👍

Also, its good to keep in mind that some fields are more international than others. E.g. when applying for a job as a software developer, it is extremely unlikely that Finnish skills are required. Then again, many jobs in structural engineering might require Finnish language skills as most of the regulations and some of the official documents are only in Finnish.

As a hint, *when* you receive your spot at Aalto, remember that you can choose courses from other programmes in your minor and elective studies. So for example, if you major in applied mathematics, you could minor in fields like computer science, computational engineering or other related fields. You can also extend your knowledge in either field by taking courses from either into your elective studies. This is basically the best part about Aalto (as mentioned in this video) since you can pretty much build an interdisciplinary study plan according to your preferences and interests.

    • @RoadtoFinnish

      Hey man and sorry for the late response. Took a while to find all of your comments on the channel. So in short, we do not do MBA's in Finland unless you are a seasoned professional. Instead, if you want to do a degree in business, you would need to apply to a university to first do a Bachelor's degree (as you intend to do) after which we immediately proceed to do our Master's degree. In FInland if/when you are admitted to study a Bachelor's degree at a university, you are also automatically admitted to do a Master's degree.
      What I would recommend you to do is to check out these websites from Aalto university.
      Bachelor's degree in economics: www.aalto.fi/en/study-options/bachelors-programme-in-economics
      Bachelor's degree in international business: www.aalto.fi/en/study-options/bachelors-programme-in-international-business-mikkeli-campus
      They contain all of the relevant information that you need in order to apply to study business at Aalto. If you have any questions about the admission process or the documents that you need, please send an email to admissions@aalto.fi because they have all the information that you need. The application requirements change slightly each year and i dont yet have all the updated information on this topic.

    • @RoadtoFinnish
      @RoadtoFinnish  Pƙed 3 lety +3

      Hey Lizi and thanks for the great questions. Here are the answers to each of them:
      1. As a non-EU citizen you are eligible to apply for university scholarships. Do note that only the best applicants are granted scholarships. The exact requirements for being granted a scholarship are not public information so cant say for sure who will be granted one.
      2. Classes in Finland usually start at earliest around 9 am but usually a bit later. There is no universal time for this so it depends on the individual course. Also, in Finland we have something called the academic quarter, meaning that most classes start quarter past the hour. This means that the morning lectures usually start at 9:15 or 10:15 am.
      3. This is a pretty wide questions because Finland has strong seasons and there are huge differences between summer, autumn, winter and spring. I think this post from the Finnish Meteorological Institute summarises our climate pretty well: en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/seasons-in-finland . Espoo is one of the cities in the capital region which is located in the southern coast of Finland.

    So I have a question, I am citizen of russia, and I would like to know, is that possible to study there without tuition fees, if I know Swedish?

    • @RoadtoFinnish
      @RoadtoFinnish  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      So in Finland, tuition fees are collected from students who are citizens of countries other than those of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland. In addition, tuition fees apply to degree programmes taught in English. So based on your nationality, you would need to pay tuition fees.
      However, students studying in programmes taught in Finnish or Swedish are not required to pay fees regardless of their nationality. So in theory, if you were to apply for a programme taught in Swedish, you could bypass the tuition fees. Having said this, you have to be pretty much on a native level in your Swedish for this to be possible.

      The application process and the chances of getting admitted to Aalto University are the same for all international students no matter where you come from. You can read everything you need to know about the application process and how to prepare on the Aalto university website: www.aalto.fi/en/study-at-aalto/applying-to-masters-programmes
      The cost of tuition at Aalto University in their Master's programmes is 15 000€ per academic year. A Master's degree being a 2 year degree, that would mean 30 000€ in total. Do note that international applicants who come from outside the European Union and European Economic Area are also eligible to apply for scholarships. I have a separate video about this topic that you can check out here: czcams.com/video/lyQL4NJwlWs/video.html
      The application itself happens between December and January and there is only one application period per year for Master's degree programmes. Please check out this video where i explain how the application process works: czcams.com/video/GIk9DUhuslM/video.html

      Hey man, in finland we dont apply directly to a specific subject like accounting. Instead, you would have to apply to do a business degree at a university or a university of applied sciences where you would then specialise in accounting and financial reporting.
      If you are looking to work specifically in accounting, i would recommend that you look at universities of applied sciences where you can do a bachelors degree in business administration.

      _As a student of the (Bachelor's level) Quantum Technology major, you are entitled to continue your studies at the Master’s level at Aalto University. The major gives you a solid basis for further studies in the Aalto University Master’s programmes, for example the MSc in Engineering Physics, where a dedicated Quantum Technology track exists. Other degree options at Aalto include those in electrical engineering, computer science, and mathematics and algorithms._
