Switzerland

During my Erasmus exchange in Switzerland, I study at a business-focused Team Academy, which is in many ways similar to Proakatemia in Finland. Students work in teams, run projects, and develop their own companies. However, compared to Finland, the approach here feels more academic and structured. There is a stronger focus on readings, theory, and traditional learning methods, such as lectures and tests. It was interesting to experience a different balance between practical entrepreneurship and academic study.

Life in Greece

Living in Greece has given me the opportunity to experience a different culture while continuing my studies in International Business. During my time here, I have been able to observe how studying, working culture, and everyday life differ from Finland. In this postcard I share my experiences about studying, spare time, and cultural differences between Greece and Finland.

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.
