Hallo from Ghent!

I’m close to an end of my exchange semester here in Ghent, Belgium and honestly, I wish I could stay much longer. This autumn, I’ve been studying at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences, where nearly 70 international business students joined this program. I’ve met so many amazing people and created memories I’ll never forget.

Exchange Life in France: Studying, Exploring, and Staying Busy

Moving to France for my exchange has truly been a lively and exciting adventure. I'm now studying at KEDGE Business School in Bordeaux, thanks to the exchange program from Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK). Life here is a bit more fast-paced than in Finland, but in the best way — it helps me stay active, meet new friends, and keep learning, both inside and outside the classroom.

Coast to coast in Spain

My fall in Madrid has included studying, travelling and eating. I'm met new friends and got to know Spain through various activities such as a stand-up show, guided bicycle tour and rowing at the famous Retiro park. Studying here has given me knowledge about topics like taxation and retailing.

Namaste from Nepal

During the autumn of 2025, I completed my forestry degree internship with the REDD+ project in Nepal. This opportunity allowed me to gain insight into the global carbon trade, forestry-related laws and policies in Nepal, and the country’s efforts to address deforestation and forest degradation. I was also able to observe many aspects of the work firsthand.

Postcard from Spain

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.
