Exchange students and trainees
Exchange students and trainees: How to apply
Nomination
In order for you to apply to Savonia as an exchange student or trainee, you must be a student of our partner university. Your home university must first nominate you as an exchange student to Savonia to mobility@savonia.fi by the following deadlines:
- 31 March (28 Feb for the field of Health Care) for autumn semester and academic year
- 30 Sept for spring semester
After nomination you need to apply and be approved by Savonia UAS as an exchange student. We cannot accept all nominated students (especially ones wishing to complete a practical internship due to the limited number of internship placements).
Savonia UAS does not admit visiting / free mover students from non-partner universities.
