Hi!! I´ll be studying Business in Vaasa too next year!! See you soon.

Marta Chełstowska Écrit il y a 13 ans

Hi, I meant exactly that! do you know, Daniel, what time do we have to send a application for this course?Is there any deadline? I'll be grateful for any information. :))

Daniel J. Écrit il y a 13 ans

Don't worry about It Marta. In University of Vaasa the person who takes care of Erasmus people is Juuli Savola. If we want to sign up to this course we have to do It in a paper that she'll put at her office door, ergo, we'll do It when we are in Vaasa. If you want to ask her about It, her e-mails:

Natalia García Écrit il y a 13 ans

ey, I'm from Spain and I am going to Vaasa in 2011/2012 year! I'm studying industrial engineering

Violeta Lado Écrit il y a 13 ans

I'm from Santiago de Compostela, Spain and I'm going to Vaasa next academic year!! I'm studying Education at Abo Akademi University. Nice to meet all of you :)
But I don´t know whether study Finnish or Swedish because 25% of the population speaks Swedish...

Violeta Lado Écrit il y a 13 ans

In fact, it seems as if all famous Finns are Swedish-speaking people... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish-speaking_Finns

Natalia García Écrit il y a 13 ans

you mean, you want to study Finnish language in Vaasa? is it a Finnish course at university or in a private school?

Iago Garcia Écrit il y a 13 ans

I have the same doubt Violeta. The problem is Finnish is spoken by 5 million people but Swedish is spoken by 10 million people and it´s intelligible with Norwegian and Danish. I was searching for the languages courses offered at Vaasan Yliopisto (my future university) and they are focused in Finnish language, and there´s only a course of Survival Swedish.

Natalia García Écrit il y a 13 ans

yeah, I have a friend who is from Finland and he told me there are a lot of Swedish students in Vaasa too. But I prefer to learn just english! I hope Finnish or Swedish aren't important :)

Violeta Lado Écrit il y a 13 ans

I think it isn't important to learn Finish neither Swedish but they'll appreciate your effort if you try. We're Erasmus students, we're only supposed to know English.
My university offers both languages and the Vaasa Summer University together with Vaasa Consortium of Higher Education organize intensive summer courses in Finnish and Swedish for all of us... in August XD

Daniel: no, that´s not what I meant. I was talking about one course organized by all Vaasa universities before the academic year starts...
