To the classroom and beyond – Student services for international talents!

Join us this month for a discussion on higher education in Turku! Whether you are considering further study or you are a current student about to graduate, higher education often plays a huge role in the integration of international talents in Southwest Finland. At this event, we will be talking about the student journey as well as introducing two projects supporting international talents in higher education.
