Internationalisation

Experiences of other countries' cultures and customs create a part of the profession's learning process. In today's multicultural societies, people have to be able to communicate and move in the labour markets globally.

Students of PIRAMK University of Applied Sciences have the opportunity to take part of their degree studies abroad. There are several possibilities, such as student and trainee exchange, intensive courses and different kinds of international projects.

Internationalisation is a part of student life at PIRAMK University of Applied Sciences, which is guaranteed by the presence of foreign exchange and degree students as well as expert lecturers from partner institutions. This “internationalisation at home” is also supported by studies offered in English. At present there are three degree programmes studied entirely in English: Nursing, Social Services and Tourism. Other degree programmes also offer courses in English, and PIRAMK University of Applied Sciences has also signed an agreement with the other three universities in Tampere to offer joint courses.

PIRAMK University of Applied Sciences has been very active in international programmes and signed bilateral agreements with some 150 institutions in over 20 countries. We are active partners in several cooperation programmes, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Nordic Council’s Nordplus networks, the North-South programme and the FIRST programme with Russia.

Internationalisation is also possible through international student tutoring. If you would like to guide exchange students when they arrive for a study period at PIRAMK University of Applied Sciences, please contact the International Office: incoming.students@piramk.fi
