English support, orientation, and newsletters.
UEF has a sizeable international community on both campuses. ISYY and UEF's international services run orientation, newsletters, and events in English — and the KAMU portal has dedicated pages for new international arrivals.
KAMU hosts an Orientation for International Students page with guidance on visas, residence permits, registering with DVV, and your first weeks in Finland. ISYY runs international first-week events at both campuses.
ISYY's English-language weekly newsletter — events, news, opportunities. Wiikko-Ärsyke is the Finnish equivalent.
Exchange students can opt in to ISYY to get the Frank student card and discounts. See the exchange-students page on isyy.fi for the membership application.
KAMU's own practical guide covers arrival paperwork, banking, healthcare, and day-to-day Finnish life — a solid starting point alongside our own checklists.
