[Summer Program] LUT Summer School at LUT University, Finland

 ARE YOUR LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE NEXT SUMMER?

 

What about travelling to Finland for LUT Summer School and gaining a deep understanding of contemporary, relevant topics in the field of Climate Change, Sustainability, Creativity, Combination of Business and Technology, all the while experiencing the beauty of Finland in the summer?

 

LUT University is a Saint Mary’s partner institution in Lappeenranta, Finland. Saint Mary’s students are invited to take part in their LUT Summer School taking place from June 26-July 15 2023 (3 weeks). Credits from the program are transferrable to the extent that they fulfill the student’s degree requirements and need to be approved by the student’s academic advisor via a Letter of Permission before the program commences. Tuition is paid at SMU for the transfer credit hours (although the flyer states otherwise).

 

Bachelor and Master students in the fields of technology and business are invited to apply, but LUT Summer School offers mainly Master’s level courses. Please check the course descriptions and prerequisites at https://www.lut.fi/en/studies/lut-summer-school/course-contents, and email global@smu.ca if there are questions or inquiries.

 

For additional information, please refer to the attached flyer and the program website https://www.lut.fi/en/studies/lut-summer-school. All questions should be directed to global@smu.ca.

 

Interested students should submit the SMU Exchange Program application by February 15. Three (3) Saint Mary’s students will be accepted into the program.
