Finnish students optimistic on employment prospects

Three in four university students in Finland are positive about the likelihood of finding a job after leaving education, a European survey has found.

The Social and Economic Conditions of Student Life in Europe survey, published by Eurostudent on 25 February, found that more than three quarters of the 3,600 students surveyed in Finland were optimistic about job opportunities after graduation. Other countries that also reported good results on this measure were Malta, Denmark and Ireland, the report found.

However, students in Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Slovakia considered the opportunities after graduation to be extremely limited.
