International activities gives you language and culture knowledge, and also lot of International potential to your career. Explore different possibilities and find a way for you to get International expertise!

GREAT ADVENTURE

You can make your dreams come true and go long study or training exchange abroad. International Exchange is supported by various grants. Exchange studies and training should be planned very carefully so your studies progress in schedule and completed studies are accepted fully to your degree. All students going abroad should have a sufficient language proficiency to complete the planned study and/or traineeship period. It is also good to remember that the mobility period can be an ideal option to develop and deepen the existing language skills.

BLEISURE

Here you can find shorter options for exchange abroad, for example Summer Schools and other short study programs included exchange period.

STAYCATION

Lapland UAS offers lot of opportunities for home internationalization. You can become for example an International Student tutor and help our new International Students to start their studies in new country and culture. Or you can improve your language skills by participating in Café Lingua -meetings!
