Orientation Week

Opiskelijat luennolla

Welcome!

Orientation days for new students are arranged in the beginning of each semester. Participation is mandatory and it is very important that all new students participate, as the orientation includes important information about organizing your studies, the university in general, living in Finland among other things. You also have an excellent opportunity to meet the other students and make new friends!

The traditional orientation week will take place from 24-28 August, in the University of Vaasa campus. There will also be a possibility to follow the main events online. We will publish the detailed schedule of the orientation week later during the summer on this page.

Changes to the program are still possible in August, so please check the program and schedules before orientation days!

During the academic year, study counsellors also organize various themed info sessions as part of the orientation programme. More detailed schedules can be found in Jolla.
