Finland – a Safe and Clean Destination Finland, the land of saunas and a thousand lakes, has high standards of education, social security and healthcare. Finland scores high in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Finnish nature is clean and serene. Finland is the land of the midnight sun. Finnish people are honest and they highly respect each other´s privacy. Though Finnish and Swedish are the official languages, one can easily get along in English in Finland. Finland is one of the best places to spot the Northern Lights - they appear on more than 200 nights a year in Finnish Lapland. The thrill of witnessing the Aurora Borealis can be a once-in-a- lifetime experience. Far away in northern Finland, at the distant Arctic Circle, lives Santa Claus, a warm-hearted and grey- bearded old fellow, together with Mrs Claus, the elves and the reindeer. This place is called “Lappi” in Finnish, or Lapland in English, and it is closely related to the Finnish Christmas tradition. Finnish design is world-famous; you might already be familiar with names such as Alvar Aalto, Iittala and Marimekko. Other famous brands originating from Finland include Angry Birds, Fazer and Polar. Finland is also the home of the startup and high- tech event Slush. 4

Students are Jyväskylä! What makes Jyväskylä famous as an academic and student-friendly city? The students themselves, of course! Jyväskylä has 20 000 students who make the city’s everyday life dynamic and active throughout the year. There is a huge amount of student-driven organisations, events and recreational activities that students can utilise to network, make friends and gain experience. JAMKO, the student union of JAMK, is an active student organisation that provides services, student benefits and events, and supervises the interests of all JAMK students in the UAS, city and nationwide. JAMKO protects students’ rights and influences matters by working in JAMK central organs, issuing opinions and providing information. Tutoring for new students and mentoring for current students form the best way to guide students through their first steps and avoid stumbling blocks further on. Students who have already been there have the perfect track record for sharing experience and introducing new students to each other and the new study environment and student life as JAMK students. The warm student community of JAMKO and student associations work together to offer you the most memorable time of your life. Welcome! 36
