Far Away but Still So Near

Postcards from around the World Sent by TAMK Students

Greetings from Barcelona

I spent the spring semester of 2026 on an exchange in Barcelona, and I am grateful that I decided to make it part of my studies at TAMK, where I study Entrepreneurship and Team Leadership. Living abroad, studying in a different environment in English, meeting countless new people, having new experiences, enjoying my youth, opening my eyes to the international world, and learning about myself on a whole different level taught me so much. It will always be a heartwarming experience that I will carry with me. I can recommend going on an exchange.

A Study Exchange Spring in Stuttgart

My name is Niilo, and I have spent my exchange semester in Stuttgart, Germany. I study Media and Arts in Finland, and during my exchange I have been studying courses related to social media, media production and international business at Hochschule der Medien.

Working Summer in Croatia

During the summer of 2026, I did three months of practical training in Split, Croatia. I choose to use an opportunity and do an internship in my home country as it would enable me to see family and friends as well as to progress in my studies. I am grateful for this summer and the training I had as it was fun, dynamic, educational and most importantly, it gave me a sense of direction for the future.

Greetings from Barcelona, Spain

During the autumn semester of 2025 and January 2026, I spent five months on exchange at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain. As a Bachelor of Business Administration student in Business Information Technology, I wanted to experience studying in a different country while meeting new people and exploring a new culture. Looking back, the exchange was one of the most memorable experiences of my studies.
