Help me explain the new University Act.
Background: I have finished my bachelor’s degree in Finland here and came here with a student permit and after graduation, I have been working and I’m lucky to be in a position to contribute to society by paying close to 50k€ for taxes alone per year.
I was planning to get my masters next year but it seems like I will have to pay tuition fees since I have work based A permit but came here first with student permit . Can somebody point out if I am missing something? If I understood it right then I’m a collateral damage.
I find the current University proposal to be unfair since it doesn’t exempt people who have A permits now for work but came here as a student.
