Exchange studies abroad - info sessions in the School of Chemical Engineering

Are you interested in exchange studies? We have info sessions before the application rounds

The application periods for exchange studies during 2027–28 are in November 2026 (destinations in Japan) and in January 2027 (other destinations). We will tell you the basics about exchange studies at the info sessions. Sessions especially meant for CHEM students:

• 8.10.2026, 15:00–17:00, KE2
• 10.11.2026, 14:00–16:00, KE2
• 24.11.2026, 15:00–17:00, CHEM lobby (come and ask session, no info session held)
• 12.1.2027, 15:00–17:00, KE2
   

The information sessions cover the same content (with the exception of the come and ask session on 24 November) and will be held in Finnish or, if necessary, in English.

In addition, CHEM will organize Exchange Helpdesks in January, with degree programme planners present as well. At these sessions you can ask how to best transfer courses you intend to complete in exchange to your degree and request signatures on your study plans. The staff responsible for exchanges will also be present, so you can also ask about destinations and applying.

Exchange Helpdesk:

• 13 Jan, 10:00–11:00, lobby of the Chemical Engineering building
• 21 Jan, 12:00–13:00, lobby of the Chemical Engineering building
