"I wouldn’t be where I am today, if a person’s whole life depended on the graduation diploma of upper secondary school. My passion for studying did not emerge until much later. Ten years ago, I could not have imagined that I would be writing a doctoral dissertation one day. I’m researching patent licensing, and the purpose is to help Finnish companies penetrate US markets."

"You don´t need to carry any books, since almost everything is handled digitally. The idea is to bring your own device with you to the classes. Nevertheless, there is an excellent library where you may read or borrow books, when needed. There are many differences between Finland and India, e.g. we call our teachers Sir/Madam, but here at JAMK you call your teachers by their names."

"Study groups are here small, so everyone can learn more effectively. In Thailand the Universities are bigger and they are located in big cities. Everyone wants to get into the few famous Universities, so the competition is very high. There are a lot more students per teacher and the study groups are usually very large. Also Finnish University atmosphere is more relax."
