Tiivistelmä
Petrasova, Elena. Project of making a handbook for international students with useful tips: Developing a Handbook for Students of Bachelor of Social Services that Aims to Prepare Students for Challenges of Finnish Student Life. A product thesis. 29 pages. Language: English. Diaconia University of Applied Sciences, Degree Program in Social Services, Bachelor in Social Services. Autumn 2017.
Aim of the report is to give an overview of a process of creation a handbook for international students named “Handbook for an International Student: Useful tips and Ideas”. The aim of the project is to share the experience which I gathered with international students. The book is aimed mainly for the first-year international students of universities of applied sciences in the Helsinki region. It will clarify main aspects that they need to take into the confederation, if they want to continue their professional career in Finland. It also covers topics that are useful to know when studying in Finland without strong financial support. This report illustrates problems that international students from non-EU countries face. It gives a comparison of living expenses in Russia, Ghana and Nepal. It elaborates the process of making up a handbook including goals, objectives, target group and stakeholders, ethics, Swat analysis, project organization and evaluation.
The project was based on the relevant resources such as internet informational portals, academic literature, qualitative research, comments from the seminars and feedback from a supervisor and international students. This project helped to look at some international students as people who belong to a social risk group. The handbook would be demonstrated for the first-year students in August 2017 via the Internet. I really hope that this book would be a helping tool for its target group and help students to quickly search for needed information, motivate to learn Finnish language, open new possibilities of learning and help to manage their time and money.
