Student review [#4293]
at University of Helsinki

The university of Helsinki has many options when it comes to different studies and the variety of subjects. Still, at the moment there are many changes going on and unfortunately that affects the students; for example, renovation of the subjects, lack of employees, lack of professors–>their pressure for hard situation of university’s economy (people getting fired all of a sudden etc), emphasizing research-based perspective in teaching and learning etc… Of course, every one of these is depending on the subjects, but especially those problems are existing in smaller subjects like educational sciences and anthropology. The University of Helsinki has obviously good qualities like equality, students’ possibilities for developing and maintain international relations and also having opportunities to affect things they want to change. Still, at the moment, in my opinion, there are too many things changing and too many small specifics and critical perspectives people want to concentrate on (especially the employees and professors in University of Helsinki). It would be great also if the community of exchange students would be wider and if the University of Helsinki would have the possibility to take more exchanges students, nor mentioned the fact that Finnish people would be more open and “welcome” for exchange students…
