Benefits of international experience

Would you like a more diverse degree, improve your language proficiency and gain an advantage in the job market?

There are many ways to expand your international horizons during your studies: you can participate in student exchange, complete a work placement abroad or gain international experiences at your home university. This will also give you the opportunity to network with future colleagues, immerse yourself in a new culture and forge lifelong friendships.

Regardless of whether or not you are planning to work abroad or in Finland after your studies, gaining experience in another country is certain to be beneficial. Studies have shown that studying or training abroad will enhance your employability and help you develop valuable qualities such as tolerance, confidence, problem-solving skills, curiosity, determination and awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses (read more: Erasmus+ Higher Education Impact Study, 2019).
