Thank you very much for your precious information. :-)
I was wondering... How do polytechnics invite you to the entrance examination?
Do they send letters, or they send just an email...
The reason why I'm asking this is that I will soon apply to Finnish AMK, but I think that when the should send the inviting letter, I will be abroad...so that's why I'm a bit worried..And the best solution would be to get to know if I have been invitied through email!
Thanks in advance

Thank you =)
Dear Serena,
The University of Applied Sciences (polytechnics) send the letter in most of the cases . If you are selected,you get an invitation letter and if not you also get the letter mentioning the reasons for your dis-qualification.However they also write an email or you can email them to check if you have been selected to participate in the entrance exam. It is always recommended to visit the home page of UAS of your first preference and know the dates for exam so that incase you do not get any reply in time (atleast 2 weeks before the date of exam) , you can email them to resend an invitation letter or a fax or email so that you can register the exam at the authorised center within your country .
Welcome to study in Finland.
Regards
Deep K.C.
