Summer studies
Did you know that you can also study during the summer?
Consortium studies (LUC) – a shared supply of studies for the students of the universities of Lapland. Degree students of the universities of the Lapland University Consortium (Lapland UAS, University of Lapland) can take courses offered by the other member university. The available studies are basic studies and Open University studies. You can find the studies in Weboodi.
For degree students it is possible to study courses from other Universities online. The available studies can be found on this website.
Student benefits during the summer
Students can get financial aid in the summer, provided that they will be studying during the summer months. Financial aid is granted for example for lecture courses, set book exams, on-the-job-training or for working on your final project or thesis. Financial aid for the summer months is available in the form of study grant and government guarantee for student loans.
