As you're getting prepared for your exchange program, we highly recommend attending our departure orientation. Not only will you receive valuable tips and advice, but you'll also have the opportunity to meet other University of Helsinki students who are heading to the same host country or university as you.
The first hour of the orientation will provide general information to help you prepare for your exchange. Following that, your tutor will meet with you and other students who will be heading to the same country to tell about his/her own experiences about the exchange. This is an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.
Please note that these events will be conducted in Finnish, but the presentation slides will be in English, and you're welcome to ask questions in English.
Please also keep in mind that these events are only open to students who will be going on an exchange program in the following semester.
