Polytechnics and university of applied sciences mean the same thing in Finland. The following 26 (as of 2014) current universities of applied sciences are also similar to the German Fachhochschule. The official Finnish and Swedish terms are ammattikorkeakoulu (AMK) and yrkeshögskola (YH). Except for the Åland University of Applied Sciences (Government of Åland[1]) and the Police College of Finland (Ministry of the Interior[2]), all polytechnics operate under the jurisdiction of the Finnish Ministry of Education.[1]
