Despite the decline, students from China were in 2017 the third largest foreign grouping, after Russians and Vietnamese. According to National Education Agency statistics, there were 1609 Chinese students studying for a degree, 526 in universities for applied sciences and 1083 in universities.
Universities in Finland charge 15,000 to 18,000 euros per year and the price tag for a two-year master degree in Finland is 36,000 euros. The applied sciences institutions charge less.
Gao Yuhang, Education Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Finland, said the lack of English bachelor-degree programs offered at the university level may be one of the reasons for the poorer competitiveness.
Efforts continue to find the reasons for the decline and to create remedies.
This August, the Rectors Association of the Universities of Applied Sciences will host a Finnish-Chinese forum. Representatives from 14 comparable Chinese institutions are expected to attend. In September a rectors' forum will take place in Beijing. Both meetings are part of the Joint Action Plan that was agreed upon as Finnish President Sauli Niinisto visited China in January 2019.
