Study visits for educational specialists

A Study Visit to the University of Turku provides you with an overview of the key-features of the awarded Finnish education system. Expert lectures, combined with a visit to a school or kindergarten (ECEC), give you a hands-on experience about the reasons behind our success.

A Study Visit is an excellent way of learning new about our awarded education system but it can also inspire you to develop your own work within education field.

A Study Visit will be designed based on your interests and needs. Are you interested in gaining a hands-on experience of the Finnish school and education system operations at a certain level or gain a broad overview of all levels? What kind of thematic areas you would like to discuss with our experts and professionals? We are happy to design a Study Visit specifically for you.
