Information on Courses for Exchange Students in 2025-26 in Peppi
UEF offers a lot of courses which can be completed entirely in English. These studies are offered for the incoming exchange students and the visiting students on both campuses in Joensuu and in Kuopio.
The exchange students are relatively free to choose courses from their own field of study, as well as from other related fields. In most cases you are welcome to choose the Master’s courses even if you have not quite yet completed your Bachelor’s degree.
Please note that if you choose courses with face-to-face teaching, the courses can be chosen from one campus only because the distance between the campuses is 150 kilometres (two hours). Only the fully online courses can be completed from the other campus.
We recommend for you to take 20-30 ECTS per semester but please make sure you will follow the instructions of your home university.
Peppi is our student and study register where you can plan your studies, view your timetable, follow your progress with studies, and register for courses and exams. Information on courses offered for exchange students in 2024-25 is available in Peppi Study Guide. When in Peppi, please remember to check that the academic year in the upper left corner is the right one (2024-25).
