PRE-DEPARTURE ORIENTATIONS
UEF International Mobility Services organises a pre-departure orientation in April (and a another in November) for all the UEF students who are going on a student exchange. In the pre-departure orientation, we will discuss health, practical arrangements, and other relevant matters of outgoing exchange students.
The next pre-departure orientations will be held on Zoom in April for outgoing students for autumn 2023 (all sessions start on the hour).
If you are not able to join the orientation specifically for your exchange programme, you are welcome to join either of the other two sessions (or both, should you wish).
Please note that the first two events are in Finnish: If you can follow a presentation in Finnish, excellent! You can ask questions in English in the chat box. If you do not understand Finnish and are unable to join the event for English-speaking students, no worries: all the necessary information will be sent to you via email in the form of an information package for the outgoing exchange students (in Finnish and in English). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact International Mobility Services at international@uef.fi, and we will help you!
Outgoing exchange students will receive invitations to the pre-departure orientations via email. If you want to join the pre-departure orientation but you haven’t received an invitation via email, please contact: international@uef.fi.
