Kajaani, in Finland's Kainuu region, is a calm city surrounded by forests and lakes. Known for KAMK's game development programs, it is a special destination for students interested in the games industry.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language course and university preparation options in Kajaani. Preparation for KAMK's English-taught programs is the most common option.
In Kajaani you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one language level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
Short language courses and summer programs can be taken on a Schengen visa. Students admitted to a Finnish university apply for a residence permit online, with an acceptance letter, health insurance and proof of funds.
Since you cannot work during language study, plan a budget that covers your course and living costs. NGGlobal helps you prepare your budget.
Student housing foundation flats and shared apartments are the most common and economical options in Kajaani.
Living costs in Kajaani are much lower than in Helsinki, and student discounts and affordable university canteens ease the budget.

Kajaani has long, cold, snowy winters and mild summers with very long daylight hours.
You can fly direct to Helsinki and continue to Kajaani with a connecting flight or by train.
Because Finland uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: in summer there is no time difference between Kajaani and Turkey, and in winter Kajaani is 1 hour behind.
