Social programme
Your stay here at the UEF will not be studying only - although that can be fun, too.
You can enjoy the eastern Finnish nature on your leisure time. Why not try out, for example, canoeing on the river or lake, play beach volley, go Nordic walking in the forest, take a sauna and go swimming in our beautiful lakes? Or you can just relax with your fellow students on the numerous terraces and cafeterias around our campus cities.
We hope you enjoy your stay in Finland. That’s why we will also organise some guided social programme during the weeks and the weekend.
Registration to the social programme is done separately from course application and course registration.
The social programme for 2025 will be published later in summer.
