My schocking Erasmus My Erasmus experience is coming to the end. After four months in Finland I can say that it has been a great adventure. I believe that this experiences has the power to enrich you in a professional level, deeping you knoledge but, even more, it can enrich you as a person.

The score Finland achieved in the field of Individualism is pretty high. This f...

I was so excited about the opportunity of coming to Finland for a semester as an Exchange due to the fact that Finland is famous all over the world for the high level of education and the quality of the health care system. Studying in Finland has been very interesting. Since day one I noticed that the the classes, the methods students use in order to get their knowledge and prepare for exams is very different from what I am used to. First, the cycle of studies here in Finland lasts 3 years, in The Netherlands is 4 in total. Where I study (in the Netherlands) the theoretical classes are more during the week and the time we spend reading books and articles is endless. Here in Finland this is not the same. The theory is important but not as much as the practical skills. I was impressed by the level of professio...
