Finland - Introduction
Finnish tertiary education has two parallel sectors: universities and polytechnics or AMK institutions,
(Finnish: ammattikorkeakoulu, Swedish: yrkeshögskola) Universities concentrate on academic and
scientific research and education whereas polytechnics are more oriented to working life and they base
their functions on the high standards it demands. The education and training provided by the
polytechnics respond to labour market needs. Their task is also to conduct R&D which supports
instruction and promotes regional development.
