During the launch of Edunation Finland, Finnish Ambassador to Malaysia, Petri Puhakka said that this would be good for Malaysians as, “The remarkably lower cost of living in Finland compared to the United Kingdom and United States, and that our universities topped global rankings make Finnish institutions an attractive alternative for international students.”
Simply put, Edunation is a startup from Finland that has partnered with the Finnish Embassy in Malaysia who wants to help international students access the top-notch schools in Finland.
