Here's How to Apply

Check out the steps below to apply for an exchange/double degree period at JAMK!

With tailor-made special study packages outside of exchange programmes for certain student groups (usually fees apply), the regular exchange student nomination/application process and support services do not apply. For nomination/application information, contact the study package liaison. Contacts and futher information here. 

Step 1: See what's on offer

Check through the list of available study exchange programmes and courses.

Once you find a suitable programme and courses, write down all the courses you want to take. You will need this list when you fill in the online application.

NB! The study programme you choose has to be included in a valid exchange agreement between JAMK and your home institution.

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:

  • 30 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 fill in the actual online exchange application and submit the required documents within the application period (see steps 3 and 4)! If students fail to do this before the application deadline, they cannot be accepted for an exchange period at JAMK.

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. Applications are accepted only through JAMK's application system.

NB: The link to the application will be sent to you once you've been nominated by your home insitution.

Step 4: Upload Your Supporting Application Documents

You'll be asked to upload some supporting documents to complete your application. Please do not send them via e-mail. They must be uploaded to your application. You'll need the following:

  • Copy of passport
  • Copy of your most recent transcript (in English) from your home institution
  • If your home institution requires its own Learning Agreement, please upload it with signatures from you and your home institution. 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 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 are made after the application period has ended.

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

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

Please note that due to the vast number of applications JAMK unfortunately cannot guarantee acceptance to every applicant. Therefore, do not make any practical arrangements (flights, housing, etc.) until after you have received your letter of acceptance!
