Courses in Social Sciences 2021-22, Joensuu and Kuopio
Exchange students can choose both Bachelor and Master level courses regardless of their level of study at their home institution.
There are courses that include classroom teaching and are offered during a given period of time. Some of the courses can be completed through independent study, either by taking an electronic exam or writing an essay. These courses do not include classroom teaching and therefore can be completed any time during the academic year and are available for students in both campuses.
