Introduction of the new student ambassadors #6

Faraz

Hi,

I am Faraz, a second-year master’s degree student from Iran. I study Educational Sciences and my specialization is Educational Leadership.

Before my studies, I had visited Jyväskylä on four occasions. What stood out for me was the fact that even though the city is small, you can find basically whatever that you are looking for in it. There are a lot of lakes and mesmerizing sceneries in Jyväskylä together with tones of fun activities. I also realized that JYU is famous for its education programs in Finland and it is one of a kind. When I decided to study a master’s degree in education my first choice was Finland because of the reputation of Finnish educational system. So JYU became my first choice because I liked the city and I knew about its quality of education.

After studying two semesters, I can say that JYU exceeded all my expectations. It is quite remarkable that you are given the chance to personalize your studies, from creating your study plan to deciding how to demonstrate your learning. There is nice balance between the level of support and autonomy. Above all, every single activity at JYU is student-centered. Everybody is valued here and you get to be you. I do recommend studying at JYU because you can not only develop professionally but also personally.
