Far Away but Still So Near

Greetings from The Hague

My exchange in The Hague has been a great opportunity to experience a new culture, study UX Design in an international environment and explore life in the Netherlands. During my time here, I have learned not only about my field of study but also about myself and the differences between studying in Finland and the Netherlands.

Internship in Malta

In my first year studies as a bachelor of hospitality mangement, I did my first internship in Pembroke, Malta as a receptionist in a hotel/language school. The whole internship lasted for 3,5 months and I must say, the summer was very hot and very different from what I'm used to in Finland.

Greetings from The Hague, the Netherlands

I did my study abroad semester in the Netherlands, in city called the Hague, and the experience was both enriching and rewarding. The exchange offered me the opportunity to get to know a new culture, improve my language skills and create new memories. The Netherlands turned out to be a modern and international country which made it easy for me to adjust there.

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.
