Internationalisation in studies

Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences offers different opportunities to develop international skills, competence and cultural understanding during the degree studies. A good selection of language courses (Finnish, English, German, Swedish, Russian, Spanish) is available and a lot of courses focusing on internationalisation, culture and intercultural communication are also offered to SeAMK students. Study mobility and practical training abroad give an opportunity to deepen the international competence through real-life experience in a foreign country and culture. By including internationality to degree studies, SeAMK students are more competent for global working life after their graduation.

Studies that develop international competence

Opportunities for developing international competence are offered by degree programmes in English, courses taught in a foreign language, courses in language and intercultural communication, and study exchange and practical training abroad. In degree programmes in business mangement, international business, automation engineering and information technology, students can deepen their international competence by completing a double degree.

In addition to international mobility periods, each degree programme at SeAMK includes opportunities for internationalisation at home: experiencing and learning internationality on SeAMK’s own campus.
