“What attracted me to futures studies is that it is unique and different from mainstream courses. There are many things that I have learnt so far during the futures course. You can definitely apply futures studies knowledge in my own field of science as the future orientation forces you to look deeper into a topic asking the broader macro questions looking at the reason behind certain activities.
The city of Turku is great; it is small compared to what I am used to but a world of its own. My stay has been great, the university has helped significantly as I believe it is the people that make the place and I have to say the people I’ve met are nice and a pleasure to be around.”

"After sending in my application and starting my studies, I realised how lucky I’d been: The issues discussed in futures studies are very interesting and topical. I also like the holistic approach taken in futures studies, i.e. looking at things from an overall perspective and from many points of view, considering the big picture.
I also feel privileged for having participated on courses and lectures given by people who are true experts on their field. Their knowledgeable approach gives the courses that extra something, and their enthusiasm about what they are talking about is infectious! “
