koulutustieto

Koulutustieto is a Finnish term meaning education information and is used to refer to information resources about education in Finland. In contemporary usage, it is also the name of a Finnish online platform that collects and presents information about study opportunities, degrees, and qualifications available in the country. The service aggregates data from higher education institutions, vocational education providers, and other learning actors, and aims to describe programs in a uniform, comparable format.

The platform offers program descriptions that include degree titles, field of study, duration, admission requirements, language of instruction, and access to study curricula. It also provides guidance content on how to choose a field of study, how to interpret degree outcomes, and what kind of career paths graduates may pursue. In addition to program listings, Koulutustieto may publish articles, comparisons, and updates on education policy, funding, and quality assurance.

Governance typically involves collaboration between educational institutions and public authorities, sometimes with input from student and employer representatives. Access is generally free to use for prospective students, current learners, educators, and the wider public, supporting informed decision-making and transparency in the Finnish education market.

In Finnish discourse, the term can be used more broadly to denote educational information resources and datasets, not limited to the official platform. The concept plays a role in guiding study choices, admissions, and understanding the landscape of Finnish higher education and vocational training.
