Students at the University of Eastern Finland may participate in short-term courses organised by Nordlys network partner universities. These courses may be free of charge or may have tuition or participation fees, depending on the organiser. Some courses may require a nomination from the home university before students can apply: if the course you are interested in requires a nomination, please contact International Mobility Services.
Nordplus mobility grants
Nordlys grants will be made available for bachelor and master’s level students participating in Nordlys network winter/summer courses. Grants are not available to doctoral students or those with an employment contract at UEF. The number of grants is limited, so an individual student is eligible to receive one Nordplus grant for one course or summer school. It is not possible to receive a second Nordplus grant for another course/summer school.
Grants will be made available later in spring 2025 (estimated April/May).
Nordplus grants will be awarded primarily for short-term exchanges and courses (for example winter or summer courses at partner universities) from which students will gain credits. Grants can also be awarded for short-term exchanges in the Nordics that can be included into a course or study unit that awards credits at the University of Eastern Finland. In these cases, students should submit a free-form statement from their subject’s amanuensis or teacher that the exchange can be included into a study unit/course.
The minimum duration for the exchange is 5 days and maximum duration 2 months. The total amount of grant awarded will be based on the duration and host country. Exact grant amounts will be announced once the grants are confirmed.
More information about the Nordplus grant will be made available in the Calls for Applications page when grants are available.
Short-term courses organized by Nordlys network partners will be announced in Viva Engage: Kansainvälistymismahdollisuuksia opiskelijoille / Internationalisation offers for students (requires UEF login).
