International exchange for degree students at Diak
As a degree student at Diak you have a possibility to complete a work placement or student exchange period abroad. An exchange period is an opportunity to acquire the skills and experience needed in today’s global environment.
- During a study exchange, you complete degree-related courses at a partner institution. The studies are planned in advance and, after the exchange, they are fully accredited towards your degree.
- During a work placement exchange, you complete your placement at one of Diak’s partner organisations, such as associations, international hospitals, seamen’s churches, or other partner institutions. The minimum length for placements is two months. You may also search for a placement independently in Europe.
When considering international exchange, it is useful to reflect on at least the following questions:
- What field of work am I interested in?
- Do I want to improve my language skills, and in which language?
- Which culture interests me?
- Do I want to work with a specific client group?
