Studyportals International Student Satisfaction Awards 2016 – Finland

Also this year, many students have reviewed their experiences of studying at a different university. Based on these reviews, Studyportals has created the International Student Satisfaction Awards. These awards are based on thousands of reviews and opinions from international students in Europe.

Many students that went to study in Finland have shared their experience. A total of 593 students left a review of their experience in Finland, with an overall satisfaction grade of 9.1, ranking 4th in this year’s award session! 35 different schools have been reviewed, of which 11 universities are awarded. A university is eligible for an award when having an average student satisfaction of at least 8 out of 10 based on a minimum of 20 reviews.

Unlike university rankings, Studyportals’ International Student Satisfaction Awards are based on thousands of reviews and opinions from international students in Europe. We created three award categories to distinguish between levels of satisfaction:

• Award for Very Good International Student Satisfaction: at least 8.0 out of 10
• Award for Excellent International Student Satisfaction: between 9.0 and 9.4 out of 10
• Award for Outstanding International Student Satisfaction: at least 9.5 out of 10

11 Finnish universities received an award:
