Studies and Jobs in Lappeenranta, Entrance model 2010

Dear Friend,
I am very much interested in machines and its application. I want to get dexterity in machines and want to do some sort of research after I get good academic background.

I have applied for Bachelore in Mechanical Engineering for 1. option in Saimaa UAS, Technology, Lappeenranta for Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology.
 
Is education free for this subject also?

Yes, they are also free. All of the study programs in Finland are free.


 

What is the reputation of the above institution and how are the faculty members over there?

It is relatively new Polytechnics. Faculties are average. But, need not to worry since all of the polytechnics in Finland maintains above a minimum recommended standard which is far better than the education standard of common private colleges of Nepal.


 

 How is the place Lappeenranta in terms of development, climate, jobs, accommodation?

It is  relatively smaller town. It got only about 60,000 people. Your Polytechnics is located on the heart of Lappeenranta city.
Jobs are very very hard in Lappeenranta, I can say you, out to total 20 Nepalese in Lappeenranta, I have known that only 5 has got part time jobs yet after one year. Accommodation are very good while comparing with the cities of similar sizes.


 

  Can you help me for the entrance syllabus and fee to be paid for entrance?

For Entrance, it would cost around 5000-6000. Please contact Embassy to know the exact amount.

I will update the entrance model questions for 2010 soon on www.nepalfinland.com and www.nepal-finland.com. Meanwhile, you can practice with the same model questions of 2009 by downloading from following link:

Discrimination and Racism cases are rising in Finland

These days, I am getting several emails and phone calls about students sharing their experiences on how they are discriminated or face the racial attack against International Immigrants. I am sharing some of those incidents:

In a Polytechnics college in Helsinki, a teacher was teaching in English medium. Meantime, he asked a question in Finnish to students which have international students as well. A South Asian student who can not understand Finnish, asked the teacher to translate that question in English if it is study related, it would be useful for him as well. Teacher did not hear it. Then, the Finnish student also replied the answer in Finnish. Then, a Finnish-African guy who can understand Finnish translated that question answer happened in Finnish language. Hearing this, teacher scold the Finnish-African guy, asking why he translated it. Teacher also told, "Because of these foreigners, our country getting worse". Finnish-African guy protested about this comment along with South Asian guy. Teacher left the class saying, "If it could be done by my decision, I would have blocked admission for international much before because why should we teach them for free with our resources?".
