Exchange students’ experiences

Find out below what previous exchange students had to say about their student exchange experience at Turku UAS.

The life of the exchange student in Turku is very cool. We always had many different activities to do, from excursions to know all the corners of Finland, sports activities in the CampusSport, to make a picnic in the riverside in the Aura river, to go to the Walo rooftop to take a coffee. At the same time, we saw the impressive sunsets in Turku or to spend the weekend in a cottage with lake and sauna.

Pedro Perez-Chuecos Alcaraz, Spain

 “It seems that the teachers were our colleagues with whom we did the project together. They did not command, but we rather communicated with each other.”

Jay Grant, Scotland

“This experience is perfect for someone who enjoys meeting new people and an exchange student program. You must also be interested in business cooperation. Turku is a very good place for students.”

James Hinselwood, Scotland

“I have met many kinds of people, who I can call good friends, attend good lectures and improved my own skills. To be honest, if you want to spend the best time of your life, come to Turku.”
