International internships (outgoing interns)
Compulsory practical training is an important part of bachelor’s degrees. Its extent is 30-120 credits depending on the degree programme and specialisation. The practical training aims at familiarising students with their professional field and giving them the opportunity to apply the learnt in practice. The minimum duration of an internship abroad is 60 days.
The practical training or a part of it can also be completed abroad. Especially if you aim at an international career, you get off to a good start by completing your practical training abroad. Even people who want to build their actual career in Finland benefit from a study-related, fixed-term training period in another country: work experience abroad is a good addition in curriculum vitae and may sometimes even be a necessity for getting the job.
