About the study place

Helsinki is a modern and cultural city where urban lifestyle lives in harmony with nature. The city has around 620.000 inhabitants and has been the country's capital since 1809. NMBU has agreements with the faculties of Agriculture and Forestry and Veterinary Medicine. Both faculties are located in Viikki campus, one out of four university campuses.

• About the agreement

  The agreement covers courses at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry (B-SKOG, M-SKOG), Faculty of Biological & Environmental Sciences (Urban Planning) this is for NMBU students studying M-LA, M-GLA and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine* (VET).

  It is however also possible to take courses at some other faculties. Please note: exchange students are required to choose the majority of their courses from one faculty, closest to their educational background. Exchange students need to have sufficient prior academic background in the disciplines taught at the receiving Faculty. Within one faculty, they can choose courses from several study programmes. One of the study programmes will be chosen as the host study programme for the student. Students are welcome to choose some courses from other faculties, as well, if they meet the requirements for the courses. Please note that some faculties/study programmes offer courses in English
  mainly on Master’s level (suitable for advanced Bachelor students as well)
