UEF Summer School is usually organised as a two-week summer study option at Joensuu campus in August. All the courses are credit-bearing (3-5 ECTS), and the language of instruction is English. There is no course fee for the UEF degree students. You can participate in one course at the time: each course lasts two weeks and there are contact studies daily from Monday to Friday.
Participating in UEF Summer School
UEF Summer School will be held 11-22 August 2025 mostly at Joensuu campus (1 course is in Kuopio). More information on the courses will be published on the Summer School website.
UEF students are also required to submit applications for the courses! You can apply for Summer School courses by filling in the Summer School application form.
Accepted students will be added to the course in Peppi by Summer School administration staff. Students should not register for the course independently in Peppi.
The courses are listed on the front page, and you can read course descriptions by clicking courses. You can submit your application by clicking Apply now or Become an applicant.
