PATHWAY FOCUS INTERVIEWS & council

Please read the instructions carefully before applying.

All accepted students from the current intake will be required to participate in focus interviews guided by the Pathway team using Hireflix, a one-way interview software. Three focus interviews will occur every semester: the first at the start of the semester, the second in the middle, and the third during the last week of the semester. This is done to guarantee the quality and drive of all students getting the Pathway diploma.

The Pathway Council will use the results of the focus interviews to determine whether the student eventually passes the Pathway and progresses to university.

The questions that will be asked at the focus interviews are more general than subject-specific. Those questions are designed to assess their communication skills and ensure students have the correct mindset and expectations for studying in Finland.

A Pathway Council made up of Pathway team members (Program Manager, Pathway Specialist) and teacher representatives will take place. The Pathway Council (per intake) will be held after the release of the semester’s grades. This will determine whether the student eventually passes the Pathway and progresses to university. The decision is based on the study’s success, the results of focus interviews, and general motivation

Students must generally pass two of the three focus interviews to pass the Pathway Council.
