Moikka! I am Niharika Anand. I came to Finland in 2018 and did my bachelor's degree here. Now, I am studying Master of Science (Tech) in ICT with a specialization in Communication Systems and Networks.

Tell us about yourself and your studies

I completed my Bachelor of Engineering from Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences in IT. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's in ICT with a specialization in Communication Systems and Networks.

Why did you choose your current programme?

I was interested in studying computer networking. During my bachelor's, I surveyed a lot of universities around Europe to do specialization in it. That's when I discovered Tampere University which offered the same program I was looking for with a specialization track in computer networking. Tampere University is a very reputed institution, and the global ranking of this university is perfect. These things made me choose this university and this program.

Can you share with us your experiences in Finland and Tampere?

I have been in Finland for the last 5 years now. The education system here is one of the best. Most of all, living alone is one of the safest countries. I have been around many countries, but the kind of environment and sweetest people I came across in Finland, I never found anywhere. Tampere, I just shifted to, but it is a beautiful city. It is close to Helsinki and the city provides all kinds of adventures and the best of the universities.

What would you say to someone planning to study and live in Tampere?

I would say that you have made the best decision of your life and you should go for it. You'll get the experience of a lifetime which you won't be able to get anywhere in the world. Also, once you are in Finland, you come to travel around Europe without any visa, so that is the best point.

What is your favourite place in the city to go for fun with friends?

The best places to go around here are parks, places with views of lakes, Särkäniemi adventure land, and IKEA.
