Services in a nutshell
Grant for abroad studying or intern
OSAKO grants financial support for studies or practical training abroad. There are two application periods annually. In return for the grant, you will vlog or blog your experiences and help us in exchange marketing.
Borrowing equipment
Want to go camping and don’t own a sleeping bag? Play tennis? As a member you can borrow equipment from our storage for free!
- be a member of OSAKO
- not get financial support from organizations other than Oamk (NB! Erasmus grant does not rule out applying)
- assist OSAKO in promoting exchange opportunities, either before, during or after the exchange period
- promoting requires content producing in Finnish also
You can apply with an informal application. The application should include the following information:
- Name, contact information and degree programme
- Information on where you are going, when you are leaving and what you’ll be doing during your exchange
- What are you expecting to get out of your exchange period? What are your goals?
- How could you help OSAKO promote exchange opportunities? Will you produce some kind of material that we could use?
- Please link your existing blog, Instagram-account or other social media profile (considering marketing purposes of going exchange it would be good to have a public profile)
Please email the application to the Specialist in Communications and International Affairs Venla (venlajun(at)oamk.fi). Please name your email “Going Abroad application”. Time to apply is 18.4.–2.5.2022.
