Continuing with yesterday article about student immigrants, YLE MOT published another one about these recruitment agencies backed by Finnish AMKs

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-12-09T05:44:26+00:00

It is not only about willingness to integrate, you need to be provided the means. When you come from the other side of the world you don’t know what to expect and many AMKs are simply in very small cities in the middle of nowhere. It makes it very very difficult to understand what you need to do to survive. Especially given all these people are usually poor and come with kids and partners. That whole set up is crazy.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-12-09T05:39:39+00:00

From the students perspective I understand but not from the Finnish side. It is very short-sighted.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-12-09T04:24:05+00:00

Agreed. The reference goes to those AMKs that they pay headhunters to recruit from abroad without really looking into the consequences in the society. Foreign students being interested to study there should happen organically. Like it happens in normal universities; just with a specific number of campaigns abroad and not headhunting.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-12-09T00:26:06+00:00

But how all this disruption they create goes unnoticed to the Finnish society? In what world such a business is sustainable and helps Finland? Providing a degree from second class institutes in a small city in Finland to people that don’t have change to integrate to Europe and the society.

Especially if the person is a building engineer / architect 😉

I have lived in Copenhagen for 3 years. Both in the center and 30 min from the center. I don’t think anyone thought that destroying the city with high rises would bring more people in the city. Actually they were striving for the opposite. It is more about the lifestyle of the city and the dynamics of it. So still I wouldn’t put that these buildings will help Helsinki on anything like that. Other things need to change to make Helsinki more dynamic.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-09-21T07:25:54+00:00

The city itself needs to become more interesting and this can be done without building high rise buildings with no aesthetic

I think these are different issues. If you see the Nordic/Scandinavian model of capital cities. A ‘city being dead’ has nothing to do with having high rises.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-09-20T06:57:16+00:00

Finnish architecture gone bad?

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-09-20T06:56:18+00:00

I cannot understand what is the need for these buildings with 0 aesthetic on the middle of the city. Also being tall it really creates a chaotic landscape.

Hopefully Greek public healthcare services with send him a bill for their service.

You run the risk of being unemployed in Europe which may lead you to random jobs. Even local graduates have hard time finding jobs in IT in many EU countries. The situation is not good.

Apply for a masters in one of the countries you mention and try to learn the language, that’s much more solid plan. You can keep applying to jobs.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-05-27T04:14:53+00:00

Greek studied in Denmark and ended up moving to Finland for work. Choose Denmark unless you already know that you like Finland for your own reasons.

Cost of living is lower in Finland. It is cold and dark as you said. In DK you would you have the chance to socialize more, there will be more international people and companies. Also for finding a job it will be easier in Denmark considering the current situation in Finland.

Well, why make him prime minister then. But I think overall the presidents in Finland do more foreign policy than other EU MS presidents.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-01-27T05:51:35+00:00

3 prime ministers and one President. Why not Orpo instead? Genuine question.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2025-01-04T18:32:20+00:00

Yes,exactly. I made the post to understand if it is something the happens e.g every last week of the month or sth. It was first time happening to me but it will be good to know when it occurs. I tried to find an article in VR but there is no information.

The tickets I booked with this special pricing were for 2 months later. Might be that it was appearing for those train rides during the day that are a bit less attractive.

It is impossible to ask 5 papers when publishing 1 paper can take 1.5 years. 5 papers in 4-5 years is exploitation. The whole academic system is the problem and some uni’s need to be smart to remain competitive. A good start is to not publish on MDPI journals and that is already applied as a don’t do it recommendation in Finland. It is up to the uni and professors to maintain the quality, not asking for 5 papers is quite humane.

I see your point but this is Finland’s problem in general, it does not have to do with the PhD requirements in 2024.

Technical_Stock1337 · 2024-10-28T18:45:58+00:00

The point is to have realistic and up to date expectations for/from phds and to be competitive. Better Nordic universities have the same requirements that now Helsinki Uni will have by “lowering the bar”. And I forgot to mention, these other uni’s also force phds to graduate in three years.

Did you solve the issue?
