International students in cooperation
9000 new ideas – projects, work placements, theses and recruitment opportunities! Cooperation with students is diverse and can be tailored to your needs.
Cooperation with international students
HAMK has around a thousand international degree students, representing dozens of different nationalities. Companies and organisations can benefit from the professional expertise of HAMK’s international students, as well as from their language and cultural skills in the different stages of internationalisation and international activities. We are also involved in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment’s national Talent Boost programme, which promotes the attraction, immigration and integration of international talents in Finland.
As a nation, we must be able to find ways to expand our pool of young talent. We took up the excellent international skills pool offered by HAMK with an open mind and have not been disappointed.
