University of Helsinki
The University of Helsinki received from Europe nearly 700 Erasmus and Nordplus applications and from other continents in various programs altogether over 100 applications for the autumn 2013 or for the whole academic year 2013/2014! We want to thank you all for applying!
If your application is approved, you will receive your Acceptance Letter by e-mail, sent by your host faculty. Acceptance information is usually available around mid-June. Before that your application is considered by your host faculty. Please try to be patient until that!
In addition to the Acceptance e-mail, university bilateral exchange and ISEP, AEN, MAUI and North2North exchange students (not Erasmus SMS, Nordplus etc.) will also receive an Acceptance Letter from the International Exchange Services. This letter is always sent to the coordinator of your home university, and it is needed for Residence Permit applications.
It is very important that you should notify the faculty and also the International Exchange Services immediately, if you need to cancel your exchange period or if there is a change in your exchange period.
Accepted exchange students will receive necessary information for the enrolment with the acceptance letter and we have gathered information about how to get started on the New Students website. You will meet staff and other new students latest at the Welcome Fair in August 29 – 30, 2013.
Remember also to apply for housing as early as possible! More information about housing is available on New Students site. Please contact HOAS (Foundation for Student Housing in the Helsinki Region) in case you have any questions about your HOAS housing application and you are not able to find the answer to your question on their site. Note also that HOAS-tenancy agreement is made for a fixed time and it cannot be terminated.
If you did not apply this time, the next application round for incoming exchange students begins in August! Stay tuned on our website!
