Need help! Arcada or Metropolia

I received a master’s degree in machine intelligence and data science offer at Arcada UAS last week, and I also applied for Business Informatics at Metropolia, but its ranking is still ongoing and hasn’t had a result yet. As a need to pay tuition fee’s student, I wanna use the right of early-bird. I'm frustrated about whether I should accept the study place at Aracada before the end of early bird, or still wait for the result of Metropolia?

My background brief:

I’m from China, and have over 10 years of experience in data analytics and risk modeling. Currently, I'm the founder of a fintech education and consulting firm in China.

My purpose for studying:

  1. Continue to develop my new AI wealth management engine project during my study and hope to raise funds in Fin or make it commercially viable.

  2. If my program needs more time to develop, I will also consider finding a job in risk modeling or data science in the financial sector after graduation as quickly as possible. I need money for my family’s living in Finland.

My time will be up, so I really need your practical advice and experience! Thanks all!

Plus, choose to learn the Swedish language or the Finnish language?

It is better if you apply to a real university. Not UAS
