Oulu University of Applied Sciences, School of Engineering welcomes you to the international teacher exchange week. The week was organised for the first time in spring 2012 and due to its success, we are on our way to make it a yearly tradition.
For you, the week offers an opportunity to teach and exchange ideas with colleagues in Oulu as well as with colleagues from all over the world and to benchmark, network and get to know the School of Engineering. Moreover, March is the time to experience the sunny winter days and get the taste of the best Finnish winter time.
