International competence during studies

As a student at Lapland University of Applied Sciences, you can gain international experience by

  • Going on a long study exchange or internship abroad (Great adventure)
  • Doing a short exchange or internship during your studies (Bleisure)
  • Internalisation at Home (Staycation)

Participation in international activities not only gives you knowledge of a new language and culture area, but also new friends and a lot of international capabilities for your future career. Discover the different opportunities and find a suitable way to acquire international know-how!

Different forms of international study

Long study exchange and training abroad

Spend a memorable semester or even a whole year abroad! You can learn a new language, meet people from all over the world and enjoy cultural experiences. A longer exchange or placement period will give you new perspectives and a more in-depth experience than shorter international periods. Don’t hold back your thirst for adventure, seize the opportunity!

Short study exchange and internship abroad

Minimise uncertainty and choose a straightforward journey to the world to support your studies and career development. Improve your language skills and gain valuable international work experience and contacts around the world. Spend a few weeks on exchange or do a short internship abroad.

Home internationalisation

Lapland University of Applied Sciences also offers several opportunities for internationalisation at home. You can become an international student tutor and help our new international students start their studies in a new country and culture or even improve your language skills by participating in Café Lingua meetings!
