Exchange student, welcome to TUAS!

Welcome to your study-abroad period at Turku University of Applied Sciences. TUAS is one the leading universities of applied sciences in Finland, and home to over 9,500 Finnish and international students.

At TUAS you can choose from a wide selection of courses taught in English. Studies are professionally oriented, and include a lot of project and group work. You can find out more about the courses available for you in the section Courses in English.

You will have a Finnish student tutor to assist you to settle into your new environment. The student tutor will meet you on arrival, help you to take care of the practicalities at the beginning of your stay and introduce you to TUAS. Learn more about your housing options and other practical matters in the section Practical info

An exchange period is not just about studying, but also about making friends and exploring different cultures. There is always a lot going on for students both in Turku and Salo. You can join the ESN-IAC events aimed at exchange students or take part in the activities organized by the Student union TUO.

If you have any questions about the exchange period, get in touch with the international coordinator at your host faculty at TUAS or with Ms. Hanna Peussa from the International Office. 

We are looking forward to meeting you in Finland!
