In the meantime there haven't been any special news concerning my study abroad semester in Helsinki. Because I applied at EVTEK university which is merging with another Helsinki university to the "Metropolia University of Applied Sciences" on 1 August 2008 it is all a bit more difficult than usual I think.
Actually, I just received my confirmation for being taken for the autumn semester which will start on 1 September 2008 and will last until 12 December 2008. I also applied for the EILC (Erasmus Intensive Language Course - Finnish) which isn't confirmed yet. I'll get the information about the status latest on 20 June 2008. Let's see and hope.
What I've prepared so far:
Ahhhm, well. Let's say ... nothing.
I just read a few websites about Finland and especially Helsinki, bought some traveller guides, searched for some webcams of Helsiki and it's greater area (wow, it's still bright outside at 11 pm, see the pic below) and checked if my health insurance card (e-card) is valid in Finland as well.
Indeed, it is. Thanx to the European Union and the "European health insurance card" which is printed on the back of the Austrian e-card.
So, what else to do then wait?
I'll be informed about the offered courses at Metrpolia within the next few days I think. As soon as I've an overview about the offered courses, I can discuss and check this with the person in charge of my home university FHWien to confirm that they accept the courses I choose (I don't wanna lear for additional exams when I'm back home ;-) ).
That's all for the moment.
I'll keep you up2date on any news.
