Erasmus+ Online Linguistic Support

The Finnish language has recently been added in the Erasmus+ Online Linguistic Support tool, so for Erasmus+ students coming to study in Finland it might be possible to take an online language course in Finnish (beginner level) before their exchange period. Check with your home institution about your possibilities with the Erasmus+ OLS language courses, if you're interested!
