General Information about Exchanges:

Students at the Faculty of Education can complete a part of their studies abroad through different exchange programmes. These programmes are:

The duration of an exchange is from one semester to an academic year. Students going for exchanges through the existing programmes will receive a general grant and/or a travel grant. The receiving institution will help with the accommodation arrangements. Studies completed during the exchange will be included in the students' degree. Application times and procedures vary in different exchange programmes. The Faculty of Education coordinates Erasmus, Nordplus, North-South-South, KOR-EU programmes and lately also some of the Bilateral places, like the Univesrity of Melbourne in Australia. Application deadlines are in February for the following Fall and Spring semesters. With Erasmus and Nordplus, there will also be an additional round of applications in September-October for the following Spring semester. This round of applications includes places that are left from the Spring round. Information on different application rounds will be distributed via e-mail. If you have any questions, please contact the International Coordinator at the Faculty, Mr. Jani Haapakoski (KTK256).
