When applying to the Faculty of Art and Design, you need to choose the field of study. Your Study Plan for Learning Agreement should mainly be compiled of the courses of the respective study field and with the courses open to all faculty's exchange students. The relevant faculty department will make the decision on your acceptance based on your previous studies, study plan, portfolio and motivation.
Please note, that in
most courses of the Faculty of Art and Design there is a restricted
entry. The teacher needs to check each choice individually in regard to
the number of the places available and whether the student possesses
required knowledge and skills for accessing the course.

In the Fashion, Textile Art and Material Studies,
as well as in some courses in other courses exchange students are
integrated to the classes where majority of the students are Finnish.
Thus the language of instruction is also Finnish. In such situations
exchange students will get individual tutoring by the teachers and the
studies are supported by literature, presentations and exercises in
English.- English friendly teaching.
Graphic design studies are open for exchange students only for autumn semester.
If you are
planning to work mainly independently on your artistic production or on
your master’s or doctor’s research, you are free to build your own study
plan for the exchange period. However, access to courses with a course
size limit will be dependent on the availability of free places and
whether you meet the prerequisites. Information on free places is
available prior the start of the course. Please note: Individually
created study plans may also lead to overlapping classes. We are happy
to assist to with planning of your studies.
Please remember
that acceptable completion of a course requires at least 80 % attendance
to exercises. In fine art subjects at least 90 % attendance is
required.
You are also free to to choose courses from the university’s other faculties or the Language Centre. Please see some examples below.
- Arctic Studies Program (autumn semester)
- Global Education
- China: Domestic, Global and Arctic Trajectories
- Intercultural Communication
- Language Studies
A very mixed study plan most likely leads to overlapping of the course timetables. This can be checked and solved only after the timetables are published in August.
