Studying in the beautiful Finnish lake district

Summer term students

Summer studies are an excellent opportunity if you wish to spend a few weeks or the whole summer in a beautiful Finnish lake district studying and having fun! We offer you a wide selection of courses in business, information technology and environmental engineering. New courses in the upcoming summer will be Usability Engineering, Sales Management and Planning of Information Systems in the Cloud. A course about Finnish Culture is naturally involved in our programme. It includes visits to companies/offices nearby and some free-time activities. You can participate one course or study the whole summer!

Courses in different towns

Courses are delivered in the following towns in the region of eastern Finland: Imatra, Lappeenranta and Mikkeli. This gives you a great possibility to get to know more than one town. In Mikkeli you can study the whole summer from May to August. In Imatra and Lappeenranta the courses are mainly held in July and August. You are warmly welcome to apply for the summer courses!
