17 - Finland - Private education

All universities are state-owned. Polytechnics are either municipal or private.

Private professionally oriented higher education

The Council of State can give permission to a registered Finnish company or foundation to provide polytechnic education. The prerequisite for the permission is that there is need for the polytechnic education in question and that it fulfils the requirements set for polytechnics, for example regarding quality of operations.
