It has been a great pleasure to work in the Pathway program with many motivated students, administration and teachers! The team genuinely works to get the best outcomes for students and universities in the process of preparing for university placements. The experience in the program as a teacher has been interesting, inspiring, rewarding and educative, and I have had the chance to meet and work with many interesting people from all over the world.

One of the wonderful things about the pathway programs is that they will help you be academically prepared. Our programs often provide courses in language proficiency, academic skills, and subject-specific knowledge. These can help students bridge any gaps in their academic background and ensure they're well-prepared for their master's studies to obtain academic success!

Teaching these online classes gave me the most remarkable experiences in my teaching career. It’s rewarding to see the students involvement and devotion. I always try to build up the course content in a way that it helps the students to make the first steps towards their bachelor studies. All the time I encourage students to be active and ask questions and to learn to work in teams. Not at least, I am happy to share with them my own experiences with the Finnish education and cheer them to work hard to be part of it.

“This Pathway program has been amazing, and I have made many friends. I love our studying process; it is not too competitive, friends support each other, and the Edunation team has always benefited the students. This program is very beneficial, especially for a student who has never studied in an international environment. The team is always helping the students with the studying process and the preparation for Finland.’’

“I can’t even describe it using plain words, but my overall experience in the Pathway program is remarkable. It never came to mind that I am pursuing a second Bachelor’s Degree after graduating fifteen years ago. Until I learned about how a country with a high education ranking globally made this opportunity accessible to everyone Edunation is here to tell you everything you need to know. There are totally zero concerns to worry about. Enroll now, and I look forward to seeing you in Finland.”

"Hi, My name is Vincent Bitana; you can call me Vince for short. I intend to study for a bachelor's degree in Business Entrepreneurship and Team Leadership at Tampere University. The Pathway to Finland program is an excellent opportunity for an International student like me who's dreaming of getting an opportunity to hone my skills and earn a degree in the finest International school in the world. In just a few days, I was pumped up and excited to learn more and collaborate with my peers and have fun at the same time. I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow learners personally in Finland. Thank you, Edunation, for the Opportunity."
