Medical students
All medical students who wish to have some practical training at the Kuopio University Hospital are taken only through the official exchange programs organized by the University.
Please contact first the International Office at your home university to find out if there is an exchange agreement (e.g Erasmus, FIRST, Nordplus/Nordlys, North‐South‐South, Bilateral Agreement) between the University of Eastern Finland and your home university. We want to point out that at this moment new agreements are not considered.
The International Office of your home university is aware about the formalities of the applying process. It is very important that your own university first nominates you for the possible exchange. Thereafter you’ll get access to our online application tool and you are able to complete the application process at the University of Eastern Finland.
Please note that there is a limited amount of training positions available at the hospital. And also note that these exchange students are not allowed to do regular courses at the University of Eastern Finland.

The University of Eastern Finland (UEF) has an online application tool for student exchange. Coordinators at partner universities (from your home university) first nominate the candidates for student exchange at UEF by sending an e-mail to International Mobility Services (international@uef.fi). After nomination of the partner university International Student Services (UEF) will create usernames and send them to the applicants by e-mail. Then applicants can log in to the system and fill in the online application form.
