Korkeakoulutarjontaa

Korkeakoulutarjonta refers to the range of higher education programs and degrees offered by universities and universities of applied sciences in Finland. This offering encompasses a vast array of fields, from traditional academic disciplines like humanities and natural sciences to more vocational and applied fields such as engineering, business, and health care.

The Finnish higher education system is divided into two main sectors: universities and universities of applied sciences (AMK). Universities typically focus on scientific research and provide academic degrees, including Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees. Universities of applied sciences, on the other hand, emphasize professional competence and practical skills, offering Bachelor's and Master's degrees that are closely linked to the needs of the working life.

The korkeakoulutarjonta is continually evolving to meet societal and economic demands. New programs are developed, and existing ones are updated to reflect advancements in knowledge and the changing job market. Students can choose from a multitude of study options, with admission often based on entrance examinations, matriculation examination results, or previous academic performance.

Many programs are offered in Finnish, but an increasing number are available in English, attracting international students and fostering a more global learning environment. The korkeakoulutarjonta is a crucial component of Finland's knowledge-based economy, providing skilled professionals and driving innovation. It aims to offer diverse pathways for lifelong learning and professional development for individuals at all stages of their careers.
