Internationalisation in the international master's degree programmes
The international master's degree programmes don't include a mobility window. Therefore, there are no Erasmus exchange agreements that have been made specifically with the international programmes in mind.
You may go on exchange, but you should always discuss your plans with your academic coordinator first. Once the academic coordinator has approved your plans, you can
- Read more about the Erasmus exchange destinations in the Finnish version of this guide (using Google Translate works surprisingly well) or
- Contact the international coordinator to find the suitable exchange destinations for you.
Please note that an exchange semester is likely to extend your studies. Exchange studies rarely replace compulsory courses included in your degree. If you are liable to pay the tuition fee, you will therefore pay at least one semester's additional tuition fee. If you have a scholarship from JYU, the exchange is not an acceptable reason to continue receiving the scholarship for the extended semesters. For example, if you go on exchange in the spring semester of your second year, you will most likely graduate in autumn semester of the next academic year.
Recommended mobility opportunities are
- Internship abroad - you may eg. organise an internship for the summer break
- Short-term mobility, eg. summer schools
