== Finland ==

A classical university with several colleges is called ''yliopisto'' in Finnish. However, some specialized universities are called ''korkeakoulu'', because unlike classical universities, they focus only on one discipline, even though they have the same status as an ''yliopisto''; for example, [[Helsinki Theatre Academy|Teatterikorkeakoulu]], a theatre school, can be considered a single "theater college". The [[Vocational university|vocational universities]], however, are called ''[[ammattikorkeakoulu]]''. The potential for confusion has led some ''korkeakoulu''s to change their name to ''yliopisto'', abandoning the distinction between the terms ''yliopisto'' and ''korkeakoulu''. Additionally three Greater Helsinki-based ''korkeakoulu''s, [[Helsinki University of Technology]], [[University of Art and Design Helsinki]] and [[Helsinki School of Economics]], have opted to merge to form the [[Aalto University]], ''Aalto-yliopisto''.
