5. BILATERAL AGREEMENTS<br />

University of <strong>Oulu</strong> has several bilateral student<br />

exchange agreements with partner universities<br />

around the world. In general, bilateral places are<br />

available for both undergraduate and graduate<br />

students in all academic fields. All partner<br />

universities can be found in the SoleMOVE<br />

database.<br />

International Services coordinate an application<br />

round for bilateral exchanges twice a year in the<br />

beginning of each term. The schedule for both<br />

application rounds can be found next page.<br />

Should some of the destinations be restricted to<br />

certain fields of study, this will be noted in the Call<br />

for Applications. The length of a bilateral exchange<br />

period is one term. All selected students are<br />

entitled to a grant which is EUR 1100 for students<br />

going to USA and Canada and EUR 1300 for other<br />

coutries. Grants for bilateral places in Germany<br />

are the same as in Erasmus.<br />

Some overseas destinations may not be open<br />

for applications every year. Once an application<br />

period has begun it will be announced through<br />

a Call fo Applications (hakukuulutus) that will be<br />

available on notice boards and online at www.oulu.<br />

fi/yliopisto/opiskelu/vaihto-opiskelu. International<br />

Services also send the notice through student<br />

e-mail lists.<br />

Please note that some partner universities<br />

require students to take TOEFL/IELTS language<br />

test prior to acceptance.<br />

For further information please contact the<br />

coordinators.<br />
