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
The University of Eastern Finland has had grants 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 for AY 2024-2025 are currently not available. This page will be updated once grants become available.
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. The exchange may last longer than 30 days, but grants will only be awarded up to 30 days. Travel days are not included in the grant, and the duration will be counted for the actual days of stay.
More information about the Nordplus grant will be made available in the Calls for Applications page when grants are available.
