Step 2: Get Nominated

Please ask your home institution to nominate you for an exchange period at JAMK University of Applied Sciences. The nominations should be done online by your home institution representative. See link below.

The nomination deadlines:

  • 15 April for exchange periods in the following autumn semester
  • 15 October for exchange periods in the following spring semester

Late nominations are accepted, but the actual application must be completed within the application deadlines!

NB! Nomination is not the application! Nominated students must still fill in the online exchange application and submit the required documents within the application period in order to be considered for an exchange period at JAMK (see steps 3 and 4)! If students don't  fill in the online application and send the required documents to incoming student mobility contact at the JAMK International Services before the application deadline, their applications will not be processed.

Step 3: Fill in the Exchange Student Application online

Get that list of courses you made during step one. You're going to need it when filling out the application. If possible, use Firefox web browser when opening the online application form.

Only applications received through JAMK's application system will be accepted.

NB: On the first page of the online application you'll be asked to choose the type of exchange from a drop down menu. Please be sure to choose the appropriate one! The options are:

  • Student Exchange
  • Practical Training
  • Double Degree

If you're not sure which one to choose, please ask your home institution. This is especially important if you want to study as a double degree student!

If something is wrong with your application we'll send it back to you for corrections

Step 4: Send Your Supporting Application Documents

After completing step 3, send the following documents to incoming(a)jamk.fi to complete your application:

  • Copy of passport
  • Copy of your most recent transcript (In English please) from your home institution (we want to see what you've been studying lately).
  • If your home institution requires their own specific Learning Agreement, please upload it with your own and your home institution signatures. This is often the case for Erasmus+ exchanges.
  • Music students only: Send or provide a link to a sample of your music.

If you don't send the required documents to incoming(a)jamk.fi and fill in the online application before the application deadline, your application will not be processed/accepted.

The application deadlines:

  • 15 May for exchange periods in the following autumn semester
  • 31 October for exchange periods in the following spring semester

Step 5: Acceptance

The decisions about admissions will be made soon after the application period has ended.

For accepted students the letter of acceptance and practical information will be sent:

  • For exchanges starting in the autumn by the beginning of June at the latest
  • For exchanges starting in the spring semester by the end of November at the latest

Please notice that JAMK receives such a vast number of applications that unfortunately we cannot guarantee that every applicant can be accepted. Therefore, do not make any practical arrangements (flights, housing, etc.) until after you have received your letter of acceptance!

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!

See more information at the OLS website.
