2024

The Summer School program at Jamk was a life-changing experience. Every student deserves to study abroad in order to enhance their cultural perspectives and learn from others with different backgrounds. Being a part of the Summer 2024 cohort gave me the opportunity to enhance my skills academically through the engineering courses and socially broaden my scope through learning in classrooms with students from 5+ different countries.

2022

Jamk’s Summer School experience is nothing similar to anything I’ve done in other universities. It’s dynamic, fast-paced, and the perfect environment for ideas to flourish. Although it takes effort to be consistent during two and a half weeks, the results are worth every hour spent working.

Attending Jamk Summer School was an unforgettable experience. As my first major trip abroad, I am happy I chose to visit Finland. I loved the quiet streets and the many parks in the cities, and the lakes and lush forests in the countryside. One of the best parts of summer school was making friends with both local and international students. Thanks to the hospitality of the staff and students at Jamk, I was able to appreciate Finland in a way that I couldn’t have on my own.
