International Cooperation
Erasmus+
We actively take part in Erasmus+ KA2 network projects, working with international partners to develop education. We are always open to new collaborations across Europe.
Student mobility
As an Erasmus+ accredited institution, we offer high-quality and long-term opportunities for international mobility:
- Hosting students from across Europe for short-term studies and work placements in Finland.
- Sending our own students for short-term exchanges and traineeships abroad.
This strengthens students’ international skills and builds strong links with working life both in Finland and abroad.
Fields of study
Student exchanges and placements are closely connected to our fields of education and cooperation with employers.

Moomins, moose, and more: A memorable Erasmus+ internship at TTS
In late 2025, three students –Clément, Francois and Naé – from France who are studying communication at Aix-en-Provence came to visit Finland through the Erasmus+ program.
During their internship at TTS, they became familiar with the daily routines and education in our campuses in the south of Finland: Turku, Vantaa, and Nurmijärvi. Clément, Francois and Naé interacted with TTS staff and students, and participated in various workshops and cultural events. This allowed them to understand the expectations and motivations of both students and professors and to gain a deeper understanding of Finnish educational system and work practice.
In addition, they got familiar with local traditions. They witnessed the first snow of this winter and saw animals like moose and reindeer, which cannot be found in France. Of course, Moomins were also a big part of their journey, and they brought them back to France with them.
They reflected on their experience by saying: “This Erasmus+ experience at TTS was unforgettable. It helped us grow both personally and professionally.”
