Application procedure for exchange students
The electronic application form and instructions for exchange students are available on the website of the International Office of the University of Turku. The application deadlines for exchange students are May 31 for the autumn term/academic year for ERASMUS and other exchange programmes within EU and EEA countries, 15 April for the autumn semester/academic year for exchange programmes outside of EU and EEA countries and October 15 for the spring term.
Exchange students come to Turku under a formal exchange agreement with their home university and the University of Turku. They transfer the study units completed at the University of Turku into their degree studies at the home university. Exchange students usually apply for specific study programmes and may also take part in supplementary programmes (i.e. programmes that do not offer a full curriculum such as North American Studies) and course units.
If you come to Turku through an exchange programme such as ERASMUS, NORDPLUS, ISEP, north2north, a CIMO scholarship or a bilateral agreement between your home institution and the University of Turku, you normally get information on the application procedure from your own university.
