Go international - at home

Becoming friends with an international student is a great opportunity to get to know other languages and cultures and to have friends around the world. The friend programme gives international students the chance to get to know Finnish culture and everyday life in Finland.

Make new friends and let them be part of your life.

Broaden your horizons by getting a look at what life is like at the University for international students. Being part of the peer support for international students is a spectacular opportunity to get international experience – right here on your home campus.

You can improve your language skills – in English and other languages and build on your cultural competences. Your work involves guiding new students and you learn a lot yourself in the process.

The faculties offer a wide range of courses and modules taught in English. You can do a minor or individual courses taught in a foreign language. With a bachelor's degree you can go on to specialize in one of the University’s international master’s degree programmes. Most exchange and international degree students take courses taught in English. Taking some courses in English is an excellent opportunity to get to know students from different countries and backgrounds! 

The study guide has the offer in English courses readily available to you by faculty.
