For study programmes lasting more than 3 months in Finland, students are required to apply for a Student Residence Permit, which is typically valid for 2 years. To obtain the residence permit card, you must first have a valid passport and an official letter of admission from a Finnish higher-education institution.
Admission requirements for universities in Finland are not overly strict. Many institutions accept applications from students who are still in Grade 12 or have not yet received their high-school diploma. Missing documents can be submitted later.
The education system in Finland is completely free of charge for Finnish citizens and is divided into the following levels: Early childhood education and care (non-compulsory): for children aged 0-5; Pre-primary education (non-compulsory): 1 year, for children aged 6; Compulsory basic education: lasts 9 years, for students aged 7-16. This is the only compulsory level of schooling for Finnish students (equivalent to primary and lower secondary education). Students attend comprehensive schools: during the first 6 years, each class is taught by one main teacher (except for arts and skills subjects), and during the final 3 years, students are taught by subject-specific teachers (e.g., Mathematics, Science, etc.).
Finland is one of the countries with the best education systems in Europe and in the world. According to statistics in 2016, the number of international students in Finland was 21,061, of which more than 10% were Vietnamese students (2,516 students). With advanced educational quality, a highly developed higher education system, diverse programs, globally recognized qualifications, and abundant career opportunities, Finland is one of the most attractive study-abroad destinations in the world.
