Postcards from around the World Sent by TAMK Students
I have spent my exchange period in Spain doing my internship at the Finnish parish. The work has been wonderfully social and diverse — every day has offered something new, from community events to encounters with people of different ages and backgrounds. I have really enjoyed the variety and warmth of this experience.
Hello from a very cold but sunny morning in Seoul!
I am currently doing my Erasmus in Reims, which is a quite small city in Champagne area. Since I arrived it’s been 2 months now and I have noticed some differences between french and Finnish culture, habits, studying etc.
Munchen the biggest village of Germany as they say.
Manchester made feel like a student.
Hi! I spent 5 months in Berlin studying and here are some of my experiences!
3 months in Antwerp, Belgium, went quite fast. I started my training at the very beginning of June. It was a bit stressful, but an incredibly interesting time, because for the whole month, I was engaged with various activities within the Façon Jacmin. Summer is a busy time for fashion - brands need to prepare for the fashion weeks and for the following season, sell last items from the previous collections and etc.
I spent five and half months in Würzburg, Germany studying International Management in Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt. I attended courses with local and other exchange students. Our schedule didn't include lunch break and sometimes school lasted late in to the evening. Germany is known for beautiful Christmas markets and Glühwein. During the wintertime we visited different cities and walked around the markets while drinking hot Glühwein. There were not as many organised student parties, but the ones there was, we attended. We enjoyed international karaoke nights and bar hopping. The courses I attended, had either one extensive exam or a case study, that we had to solve in small groups. The exams reminded me of the Finnish Matriculation Examination, because we went to a big conference hall, and had to sit on our named seats. The lectures were quite similar that I'm used to in Finland. Tschüss, - Siiri Nyrönen
