Application period for YUFE exchanges 15-30 September 2024
The autumn call for applications for YUFE exchanges will open in September, 15-30 Sept 2024. During the application period, bachelor, master and doctoral students at the University of Eastern Finland may apply for student exchange at YUFE Alliance partner universities for the spring semester 2025.
Students may apply for YUFE exchanges by one of two ways:
- YUFE Student Journey exchange (requires an active YUFE Student Journey study right)
- YUFE Minor exchange (does not require Student Journey study rights)
YUFE Student Journey exchanges are available for students who have an existing, active Student Journey study right. During the exchange, students may select courses from the host university’s course catalogues.
YUFE Minor exchanges allow students to complete a full minor subject during the exchange, and the Minor does not require a Student Journey study right. The completed minor can be included into a UEF degree as a full minor. Remember to discuss with your departmental coordinator to make sure the minor can be included into your degree.
Application period
The application period is open between 15-30 September 2024.
The application period ends on the last day of the application period, at 3:00 PM sharp (Finnish time). Late applications will not be accepted, so students are encouraged to make sure they complete and submit their applications by the deadline. The application must be entirely complete with the required attachments in order for it to be ready to submit in the application system.
We encourage students to complete and submit their applications by the day prior to the deadline to avoid potential last-minute problems.
Programme-specific calls for applications
Please make sure to carefully read through the programme-specific calls for applications before starting your application! The calls for applications include information about e.g. application deadlines, available placements and available grants.
Applying
Applications are submitted in the SoleMOVE system. Log in to the system with UEF credentials using HAKA/Shibboleth login.
Instructions for how to make your application are available on Kamu: SoleMOVE online application system.
NB! If you have had an employment contract at UEF (traineeship etc.) or you are currently in an employment contract at UEF, please contact International Mobility Services before applying. Your SoleMOVE account may have mistakenly converted to a staff account. Please note that your employment contract must be expired before the exchange period begins.
A transcript of records (from Peppi) and a motivation letter are required as attachments to the application. For more information about the motivation letter, please see Kamu, Applying for student exchange and traineeship abroad.
NB! The contents of the application
The student is responsible for making sure all information is correct in the application and for submitting the application by the deadline. It is not possible to make changes into the application once it has been submitted. The student can request small revisions (for example, changes in the order of the host institutions) to be made within a week of submitting the application. Once it has been a week since the student has submitted their application, changes will not be made to the application. Requests for revisions should be made by email to international@uef.fi.
