Personal guidance

In a personal guidance session, you will meet a SIMHE adviser with whom you can discuss about your skills and set up your goals. The discussion is confidential and free of charge. You will discuss about your previous education, language skills and job experience, and your aspirations for studying or working in Vaasa. The guidance will help you plan which higher education option is right for you: supplementary or degree studies.
