Finnish ECTS Earned to US Credits

I apologize for hijacking the thread, but do you guys know whether Metropolia's courses can be evaluated by IEE or Educational Perspectives or Spantran Pathways?

Thanks

You would have to contact those companies and ask. They need to be willing to accept digitally-signed PDFs directly from the student, not from the school. I think IEE was reported to be unwilling to do this, but I don't think the others were questioned.

Check TESU's webpage for options: https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/apply-in...al-student
I would suggest this: Academic Credentials Evaluation Institute, Inc. (ACEI)

Got it, thanks.

I also would like to ask for information about the difficulty of the CS courses from Metropolia. Does anyone happen to know how long for example does Python Programming or Discrete Math  or other CS courses take to complete?

I've only checked the Discrete Math one shortly and it looked fairly easy (in comparison with a similar course in our local uni), probably easiest course I've seen for discrete math. Not sure about others. From what I have seen and read, I expect the time taken will vary greatly among the courses. You can enroll into one of their free courses, once you have Viope (their learning platform) login, you can subscribe there to many of the other curriculum courses and check how difficult it seems.

The Metropolia Discrete Math course only seems to be 3 ECTS or 1.5 US credits - I'm not sure this is a viable transfer candidate for TESU but I have no data points to arguer for or against this.
