Hello visitor and welcome to this blog!
I am here to tell you about the life in Southern Finland as a
student and, more specifically, the life of a student in Laurea UAS. Hopefully,
you will find this blog informative and engaging enough to maybe pick Laurea,
or Finland itself, to continue your education in.
So let's begin, shall we?
What is Laurea UAS?
Laurea University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1992 and
is one of the Finnish universities located in Helsinki region. With its 7
campuses, it has become a fairly popular UAS, offering different kind of
programs for both - Bachelor and Masters degree studies. And who can blame the
popularity of this university? What Laurea UAS is famous for is the study
model - Learning by Developing (LbD), allowing the students to have a lot of
practical knowledge by the graduation, not only the theoretical. Obviously, there are more pros to that education model than just that. The average employment rate of
graduates is roughly 97%.
But what else is so great about Laurea?
The international environment has a positive impact on
everyone. Not only the students, but also the staff is multi-cultural thus
allowing everyone to gain more experience when working with different culture
people. Student life is also quite active, with events and in-school
activities, projects and, of course, the studies.
And it doesn't end there. That's why I am writing this blog, to
let you know of the opportunities in Laurea and to help you, if you decide to
come to study here.
Finally, some of you might also be wondering - ''Who is writing
this? Is it a teacher? A reviewer? Just a random person who had nothing more
interesting to do?''. Well, for those interested, none of those are correct. My
name is Liliana and I am a second year Business Information Technology student
of this same university. As I originally have come to Finland to study from
abroad, I hope to be able to help you learn more about the student life in
Laurea and Finland.
So let's have a good trip in learning more and, perhaps, I'll
meet you some day in the halls of Laurea.
