The university supports and follows the student in a very good and personal way. The professors know each student and help each student to find their own direction in an indendant way.

It's best to buy some warm clothes before you leave! Travelling around Finland is great in summertime (after university is over) with the train (half price with Finnish student card). Basic knowledge of English is useful, there were some international students that didn't speak a word of English and they had a hard time at the start.
Great experience. I would leave right away if I could!

Live in Kuntotie, choose apartment with as many people as possible, don't share the room, get your studies out of the way as soon as possible, go out as much as you can in September to know all the people

“International law, biopolitics and gender studies flourish in Lapland”
Pekko R
Denmark, Graduate
International Relations, 2020
Overall
From Social Sciences perspective The University of Lapland offers it's students great education especially on areas around international law, gender studies and biopolitics. Courses focusing on theories and practices in studying and analyzing different mechanisms of power and control as well as vast variety of gender studies from some of the most well-known Finnish gender studies veterans are more than beneficial for a student focusing on strengthening their expertise on those areas.

Pros
Relatively small university offers it's students rare opportunity to have personal meetings with the members of staff
Cons
Library is lacking physical copies on many books forcing students to rely on electronic material.

“Beautiful University in a beautiful location”

Overall
I chose Lapin Yliopisto for my Erasmus experience and I could not choose a better university. The teaching staff was understanding and well-prepared. The classe I attended proved to be useful and the multicultural context made myself feel completely at ease. As a result, my Erasmus experience went by too fast! I would definitely recommend Lapin Yliopisto.

Tivoli and Doris are the best places to go out. Both free and have 1 euro beer on wednesday. Both free till 11 or 12 on Saturday. Doris is generally more expansive, but the crowd could be better for some. Check both out. Participate in sports that are offered by University. There are really a lot to choose from. Travelling can be costly, since the town is up the North, but do go to Sweden.
