Your HAMK Exchange Exprerience Starts here
1. Check if your university and HAMK are partners:
We welcome firstly students from our partner network and the exchange programme is meant for them.
In special cases, students can be accepted from other institutions. They are called “Freemovers” and you can find more information about this from below.
Go to SoleMove system, and click Search-button to see all our partner institutions around the world.
2. Choose the Programme and Studies
The complete module selection for each degree programme will be found here after it has been published for the next academic year. In addition to the studies offered by the degree programme, there are also some virtual courses available.
A summary of modules offered is given under each degree programme. Students often complete two consecutive modules (2 x 15 ECTS) during one semester. Normally, it is not possible to select single courses from the module, i.e. the whole module has to be completed. Please contact the guidance counsellor of the degree programme for further information.
Please note that the distances between the HAMK campuses range from 10 to 100 kilometres. We advise that you select studies only from the campus where your degree programme is situated!

FAQ – exchange studies
Contact your home institution and your guidance counsellor at HAMK.
If you still have access to your HAMK account, you can download your official Transcript of Records from Pakki. Otherwise, please request it by contacting international@hamk.fi. If any courses are missing, contact your guidance counsellor.
Information for official:
To be able to nominate your students to HAMK, you will need a user account to our SoleMove system. Please contact international@hamk.fi.
Please notice, that we don’t accept late nominations or applications.
We have bilateral agreements with around 120 educational institutions abroad and our whole exchange programme system is based on these agreements. In special cases, students can be accepted as a freemover from outside the above schemes. Due to the limited number of available spots, we prioritise students from our partner institutions. Applications from freemovers will be reviewed only after the available spots have been allocated to students from our partner universities.
The freemover applicant must be a degree student of a higher education institution in the same field of study that the student wishes to study at Häme University of Applied Sciences. The acceptance of a freemover student is done on a case-by-case basis. The freemover student must be nominated by their home institution according to the instructions given on this website.
Tuition fee
HAMK’s tuition fee is applicable to freemover students who are non-EU/EEA citizens and whose home university does not have a student exchange agreement (e.g. Erasmus+, Erasmus+ Global, bilateral) with HAMK.
The tuition fee for bachelor’s studies for one semester is €4850 and for the whole academic year €9700. HAMK does not provide any scholarships for freemover exchange students.
