At the International Career and College Counselling (IC3) Summit in Mumbai last week, Finland made a strong pitch to Indian students, inviting them to consider the Nordic nation as their next study destination. Representatives emphasised that the country is not only safe and affordable but also offers a wide range of options. “Finland is attractive as a destination because our education is high quality. We have a lot of affordable degree options compared to many other countries,” Dr Eva Nilsson, Deputy Consul General explained. With over 600 degree programmes taught entirely in English, the choices are broad.
