Information for Exchange Students
The Faculty of Social Sciences has a wide network of partner universities around the world. The Faculty is strongly committed to the promoting of its international connections.
Exchange students come to the University of Turku through exchange programmes such as ERASMUS, NORDPLUS and ISEP. Other ways of making the studies possible at the Faculty are for example applying for a CIMO scholarship or gaining the right for studies via a bilateral agreement between the home institution and the University of Turku.
