Multicultural atmosphere
The students of the international groups come from different parts of the world. Also foreign guest lecturers, mainly from our Danish and German partners, visit our university of applied sciences at the beginning and end of each academic year. Lectures, exercises, team and laboratory works are an essential part of the learning process. To facilitate adaptation to the new learning environment and processes, we will have a consultation with every student about his or her orientation, on the basis of which we make a personal curriculum each one.

Third-year students are sent to our partner universities for example in Denmark or in Germany. During this period they can take a double degree. They also have the opportunity to practise in new working environments and establish relations.

The studies’ total duration is 3.5 years, which includes one summer semester. During this semester students are allowed to choose courses from other universities of applied sciences in eastern Finland.

During their final year the students will concentrate on their theses.
