Question

I studied in Russia for 6 years medicine due to several reason didn't complete my studies there came to India in 2004 and i'm working in India since I left Russia. Now I'm seriously planning to study nursing as my undergraduation in Finland, would this gap of 8 years from my higher secondary education be a hinderence to persue my UG in Finland?

Answer 1

I don't see how it could hinder you in starting your studies. A lot of people take a few years off after graduating from high school. Or they work in one field for a while, and start education in other.

Here are some links to Finnish schools.
