Students at the University of Eastern Finland may participate in short-term student exchange during their studies. Short-term exchanges generally mean short courses, summer and winter schools and other short-term study visits organised by different partner universities.
NB! Short-term exchange does not, unfortunately, mean that for example, the student applies for a host university for a 1-month stay. A short-term exchange must be for a specific short-term/intensive course to be completed, not a month’s stay at any university in general.
International Mobility Services shares information about different short-term study abroad options in the Viva Engage (Yammer) group Internationalisation offers for students (new tab, UEF login required). It is also recommended that students seek out the websites and social media profiles of different partner universities – partners may promote their courses in their own channels.
International Mobility Services also keeps an Excel list of summer and winter schools that come to our attention. The list is available from this link or in the Viva Engage group Internationalisation offers for students (link above).
Students can also seek out and participate in commercial summer courses in Europe from Summer Schools in Europe (new tab). Mobility grants are not available for commercial courses (excl. Nordic Centre courses).
