• In the early 1990s, in response to increasingly diversified demands in higher education, Finland created a dual higher education system, setting up Universities of Applied Sciences (formerly known as Polytechnics) alongside with traditional Universities. The Finnish universities of applied sciences have developed rapidly, successfully meeting the needs of practically-oriented higher education. In Japan, as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has pointed out, the technical college system has also developed successfully after it was established in the early 1960s to promote practical engineering education. This paper discusses the Finnish dual higher education system vis-a-vis the Japanese technical college system, on the basis of an intensive two-month field study in Finland. The authors suggest that the Finnish education system should be further explored as the Finnish experience could provide greater diversity to Japanese higher education.
