Student exchange reports and blogs

Student exchange reports from JYU students.

Table of contents

Every year about 450 students from the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ go on an exchange around the world. In addition, more students do internships abroad and a growing number of students spend a shorter period abroad, for example by participating in an intensive course. Below you will find experiences and sources of inspiration for your own internationalization!

Exchange reports

Exchange reports are a golden source for evaluating the suitability of an exchange destination for yourself. So, check out the experiences of those who have been on exchange before on the Travel Reports tab in the student Mobility-Online portal.

Exchange experiences via Instagram

It is possible for students to share their exchange experiences through Instagram posts on the JYUstudyabroad -Instagram account. Moreover, the account is a great way to hear more about different internationalization opportunities at JYU.

Experiences of short mobility

The best part was the whole experience as a whole. You got to know the local culture from a slightly different perspective than a tourist's. Got to see the activities of another European university. The teaching of programming was really intensive.

Internationalisation experiences at own campus

Being an international tutor was a lot of fun. I decided to apply to become one right after my exchange time abroad, as I had missed the feeling of being surrounded by international people and learning about new cultures and countries. Being a tutor taught me group leadership skills and taught me how to work with various people.
