Student Exchange Program Finland

The three years of high school are voluntary in Finland. Although, if a student wishes to enter the university, a high school diploma is required. After 9-year-comprehensive school students can choose between upper secondary school. Upper secondary school (lukio/gymnasiet) provides general school leading to the national Matriculation Examination (Ylioppilastutkinto/Studentexamen), which gives eligibility to all forms of higher education.

Many schools follow what is referred to as the "classless high school system", which means that you can finish your studies at your own pace in 2, 3 or 4 years. This flexible system has proven to be very efficient. Students may choose to study in either Finnish or Swedish. Two Worlds United students may be able to take many of the subjects in English, depending on the school. Typical subjects for your program may include: Physics, Mathematics, Foreign Languages, History, Geography, Biology, Music, Drawing, Computer Science, Physical Education, Chemistry, Religion (not a mandatory subject) and Philosophy.
