How can I gain international experience at Humak?

Internationalization at home

Internationalisation at home refers to developing international and intercultural skills during your studies without a physical mobility. The goal is to ensure that all students have the opportunity to build global competencies and skills required in international working environments — regardless of whether they go on exchange or complete internships abroad.

Opportunities for internationalisation at home:

• Study foreign languages (English, Finnish and other languages). Please note that by having been offered a study place on the programme, you have demonstrated that your level of English is at least B2 level.
• Develop intercultural competence by completing courses with an international perspective
• Participate in events organized with Finnish students
• Do your internship in Finland (especially if you are an international degree student) to develop Finnish language skills, network with the local Finnish labor market, and enhance your options on staying and working in Finland after your studies.
• Attend classes or lectures delivered by visiting international experts
• Take part in organizing events in collaboration with international partner institutions
• Participate in international research and development projects

We encourage our international degree students to make the most of their stay in Finland. Explore the possibilities to do their internship in Finland and get to know Finnish culture and people!

Internationalization abroad

• Apply in student exchange in Humak’s partner institutions abroad
• Complete your intership abroad – in a country other than your home country
• Participate in intensive week abroad (blended intensive programmes)
