Studying abroad
The University of Turku aims at having an average of 450 students per academic year spend at least three months on an exchange.
The university takes part in a number of international exchange programmes as well as bilateral exchange agreements with higher educational institutions. Furthermore, it is possible to apply for grants and study abroad in order to complete creditable studies towards a degree at the University of Turku.
Who can apply?
Bachelor's and Master's degree students, and in certain cases postgraduate students, are eligible to apply for an exchange period abroad.
The University of Turku has two Master's degree programmes which require a study abroad period (Baltic Sea Region Studies and European Heritage, Digital Media and the Information Society) and some where it is recommended (Asian Studies and Learning, Learning Environments and Educational Systems).
The basic requirement is that all studies abroad must be accepted as transferrable towards a degree at the University of Turku. The application period for studying abroad usually ends in February or March. In some cases, other application periods may end in autumn.
