And what would be better than studying Finnish before you start the school. That way you can amaze your fellow students with your Finnish skills.

If you are still in your home country you may take virtual studies. Some of the open university studies are based on virtual studies, but still most of the studies contain contact lectures. So, the best selection of courses is available if you already live in Finland.
