Summer studies

Due to the corona virus pandemic, University of Eastern Finland has closed its campuses and offers teaching only online.  Always check the current situation with the teacher of the course. General information on studying during the corona pandemic is available at https://kamu.uef.fi/en/student-book/coronavirus/

During the summer months you can write essays and follow online courses. Additionally, you can work on your thesis, do practical training or other project work that is included in your study plan.

Please note that completing a course may require more than merely sitting an exam. Check the course descriptions in WebOodi for further requirements and teaching language. If necessary, ask the responsible teacher for further instructions.

During the summer holiday season, 15 June – 15 August, administrative delays will occur and it may take up to three weeks for your completed courses to show in WebOodi study register.

Remember that if you are eligible for the Kela student aid, the aid is available also for summer studies.

UEF summer study guide is available in WebOodi.
