Nursing top-up groups start
Our nursing top-up group started their studies online at the beginning of March. Some students have already come to Finland and have had time to adjust while studying remotely. The Edunation team met with these students last March to get to know them better and ask how they feel about Finland.
‘’Coming to study in Finland is the best decision I have made in my life’’ -Eric, Philippines
On Tuesday, April 12th, we met all the nursing top-up students again, but on campus, this time, to talk about their studies and life in Finland. All of the students were very excited, and so were we! The team was also very impressed with how well the students had already learned the Finnish language. This just shows how hardworking and eager they truly are to begin the next chapter of the happiest country in the world.
full-time nursing groups start on 19th april
We also met with some of our full-time nursing students before they started their degree studies at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. We wanted to get to know them a bit better and allow them to ask us questions if they had any.
The full-time nursing students started their studies on April 19 at 9 a.m. at the Myllypuro campus. During the first opening hour, we gave an introduction round to the students on campus and online. Afterward, the Edunation team gave a presentation about what we do in Finland and, of course, the nursing program. Metropolia then continued to provide details about the university and the studies in practice. The university also gifted the students with their own ‘’Metropolia’’ backpacks!

Campus tour
After the first opening hour, the Metropolia tutor teacher gave the students a campus tour. To start off, we had a quick coffee break in the 6th-floor cafeteria, which has the most amazing view! We were all amazed by it, as well as by the sunny weather. After the break, we continued the tour. The teacher showed us the practical learning spaces, where the students would be learning in action. There are many learning spaces with high-tech equipment, as the Myllypuro campus is almost brand new. Some examples were the midwifery room, the care unit room, and the operating room, to name a few.
The students were amazed by the innovative learning spaces – and again, so were we! These premises gave the student a lot of motivation as they would be studying in practice very soon!
After the campus tour, the tutor teacher took the students to student services, where they could do paperwork. Afterward, the students headed to lunch – the cafeteria offers a variety of choices for affordable prices! For the rest of the day, students had practical information sessions with the tutor teacher and student tutors.
