The previous information session for students selected for exchange to Europe, Nordic countries and Switzerland for Autumn 2022 was held on September 22nd, 2022 at 4:15 PM, and a Presentation pdf is available.

As you're getting prepared for your exchange program, we highly recommend attending our departure orientation. Not only will you receive valuable tips and advice, but you'll also have the opportunity to meet other University of Helsinki students who are heading to the same host country or university as you.

The first hour of the orientation will provide general information to help you prepare for your exchange. Following that, your tutor will meet with you and other students who will be heading to the same country to tell about his/her own experiences about the exchange. This is an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.

Please note that these events will be conducted in Finnish, but the presentation slides will be in English, and you're welcome to ask questions in English.

Please also keep in mind that these events are only open to students who will be going on an exchange program in the following semester.

The 'What I Learned During My Exchange' events are no longer being organized due to low attendance. Instead, we recommend that you use the SkillMill application below. It's designed to assist students in utilizing the experience gained while studying abroad and applying it to their professional lives. The app can also help you highlight these experiences on your job applications and CVs, ensuring that your valuable knowledge is not overlooked.
