Study in Finland (in English) - ISEP Exchange
Programme description
As an ISEP student, you can build your own programme by choosing your courses from a variety of fields, but most of your studies must be from one study field and campus. We have roughly 50 programmes taught in English within the fields of humanities, natural and technical sciences, social sciences etc. Some courses are also open for exchange students and you are entitled to seek for additional studies at the study offerings of other campuses and institutions.
Tampere university has three campuses available to ISEP Students which include city centre, Kauppi, and Hervanta. Please note that each campus offers courses within different faculties. ISEP students should choose the majority of their courses from a single campus and study field, but are allowed to take their remaining courses from other two campuses as well. Students are asked to do this to avoid schedule conflicts. At Tampere University, in some study fields, there might be more courses available as independent studies (self-studying) only without any traditional lectures in English. Learning is assessed usually by essays and one exam. The dates for exams vary with the field of study. Taking independent studies and electronic exams is very common.
For more information, please see the Registration for courses and study practices for exchange students website.
Student housing
ISEP students will be accommodated in one of two TOAS residences:
TOAS is a local student residence with private rooms and some shared facilities. More information on which residence they will be housed in will be given to students later in the application process. Students could be housed in any of the two locations mentioned above or even to a different location, if these two are not available.
Meals
All ISEP students will receive a meal stipend based on the cost of living for students in Tampere, which they can use to purchase groceries and cook meals in shared facilities. The stipend will be disbursed into your personal bank account from your home country. The bank account has to be on student's name. Please note that this can take a few weeks, so students should be prepared with funding for meals and start-up costs during that time until the stipend can be disbursed. Students will be expected to budget for their meals accordingly, and can ask their ISEP Student Services Coordinator for tips, as well as check out ISEP's resources for Budgeting for Study Abroad. A student lunch at Tampere University will cost you only around three euros!
