Training placements

The University of Kuopio welcomes applications from exchange students for training placements in the fields of:

Eligibility

You should have completed at least the basic or intermediate level studies (1-2 years) at your home University in order to be eligible to apply. The pracatical training has to be approved by your home university. This is why you need the signatures for the application form. In addition you must be enrolled as a full-time student at your home University both at the time of the application and during the exchange.

Please note that most of the placements are unpaid. However, the training period can be included in exchange programmes like Erasmus and Nordplus. In order to find out if you are entitled to use an exchange programme and the benefits of it (like the scholarship) for these training placements, please contact the international coordinators at your HOME university.

Application

The application deadline is 30 April 2009 which is the same as for study exchanges. You can use our regular exchange application form to apply for these placements. Please note that in addition to your transcript of academic record, a CV has to be enclosed. When filling in the form, please write the title of the training placement (for example Biosciences Placement Offer 6)  in the section 6, the Learning Agreement in the application form.

Send the signed application with the transcripts and CV's enclosed to the International Office at the University of Kuopio.

Services
