Of course you should go on exchange! With more than 400 partner universities worldwide, Åbo Akademi University offers great opportunities for an international study experience. Exchange studies improve your language skills, and above all, give you memories for life. By getting to know people from other cultures, you learn about yourself and gain the confidence to face new situations. These skills will benefit you throughout your life, not only in the global job market.
Below is a short and simple overview of instructions, so you get an overall perspective of how the process works.

You can apply for exchange studies once per year. The deadline for applications for the academic year 2024 – 2025 is on 2 February 2024 at 15:00. Read more about where you can apply and how further down this page.
