Apply to be an international tutor!

You have until the end of week 19 to apply to become an international tutor!

The student tutor guides the new students to their new university and Rovaniemi, gives advice and tutors the students in studying along with different issues about student life. Tutors also earn little money and they get study credits.

Survey for international students in Finland

The University of Turku would like to invite international student studying in Finland to fill in a short online survey focusing on your experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participation in this study will provide us with valuable information on how situations like these affect the international student lives. The approximate time for completing the survey is 5-10 minutes.
