Helsinki Institute of Technology Explanation: This answer is due to online research and not a personal experience... The Helsinki Institute of Technology (also abbreviated: HIT) is part of the Helsinki Polytechnic (Helsingin ammattikorkeakoulu) and does not exist anymore. That's why no relevant website can be found online. Helsinki Polytechnic was established by merging eight institutions of higher education,including HIT. Nowadays,the field of technology at the university has been replaced by the Faculty of Technology. More information about the Faculty of Technology can be found in the source below.

Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia Explanation: It could possibly be this seat of learning, more commonly known as Helsingin Ammattikorkeakoulu. It doesn't lead to academic degrees like universities; it's more a vocational high school (in the UK it would be a college of further education). See the link, there are some English pages. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 52 mins (2003-09-12 21:08:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction: Had a look at the website: some courses do seem to lead to degrees. However, the emphasis appears to be on the vocational rather than the academic. Reference: http://hit.fi |

see answer sent to your mail Explanation: As I mentioned there, all depends on the time the person graduated from that school. A college of this type used to have 2 lines - based on the criteria for enrollment - basic school (nowadays junior high) and high school; but the graduates of both lines were expected to have similar qualifications. as mentioned by others, this college is nowadays part of the Helsinki Polytechnic. High school = "lukio" Voccational school = ammattikoulu Oppilaitos = college or institute Nowadays polytechnics grant professional bachelor degrees and may possibly, in the future, be able to grant professional masters. |
