Hi,
Thank you for the question! 😊 In Finland, degrees earned outside of the EU are often evaluated to determine whether they meet the standards of Finnish qualifications. For your Bachelor of Science in Criminology from the Philippines, you would need to have it assessed by the Finnish National Agency for Education (Opetushallitus) to see if it's recognized for work or further education in Finland. If you want to continue working in criminology in Finland, there are several fields you might explore, such as law enforcement, correctional services, social work, or probation services. Depending on your qualifications, you may need additional training or certifications in Finnish law or the criminal justice system to work in these areas.
There are also universities in Finland that offer programmes related to criminology, criminal justice, and social work. For example, University of Tampere and University of Helsinki offer master's programmes in criminology. So, it's possible to pursue further studies in criminology or related fields, but I would suggest that you check the specific programmes to see whether they accept international students with your background and if there are any prerequisites.
Hope you find this helpful! 😊
