International partners

Internationality is one of the strategic aims of Karelia University of Applied Science (Karelia UAS). Karelia2030 strategy identifies five main areas to work with and develop until 2030 to meet with the regional and global challenges. At the time of disruption and challenging global trends, fostering the prosperity and well-being of the somewhat remote and densely populated region is the uttermost goal of the Karelia University of Applied Sciences.

Karelia UAS offers broad internationalization possibilities for all students. You may study different languages, act as a student tutor for the international students and you may go abroad for student exchange or for a practical training. All studies/training passed abroad will be acknowledged fully to your degree at Karelia UAS.

Student and teacher exchanges are based on a broad network of foreign universities. When you go abroad for a study exchange you will not pay any tuition fees and in addition to that you will get a grant from Karelia to partly cover your travelling costs.
