Student counselling
Student counselling
The student
counselling and consultation services are an integral part of the activities in
the UAS. All of the schools in Seinäjoki UAS offer counselling and consultation
services for their students. Counselling and consultation considers the needs
and demands of both the students and the educational field.
Student counsellors, international coordinators and practical training
supervisors are chiefly responsible for student counselling in the schools.
However, all teachers, student tutors, Student Affairs Offices and libraries
participate in the counselling process.
Services at the Students Affairs Office
Each school at Seinäjoki UAS has a Student Affairs Office, which offers services
related to academic and social issues. There are some variations in the offices'
opening hours.

Student tutors
Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences has students who are trained to tutor
new students, especially at the beginning of their studies. Tutors offer peer
support and guidance in issues concerning living in a new environment and
studying at Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences. The student tutors also
participate in the marketing and representation of their faculty.
Career counselling
Students who study in a university of applied
sciences actively build relationships with the working world during their
studies. They become familiar with various work environments and duties in
practical Project Studies, visits to various workplaces, during their practical
training and seminars related to the working world as well as while they write
their thesis. These experiences and contacts guide students down the path to
choosing their line(s) of professional specialisation and prepare them for the
challenges of the working world.
Our
staff responsible for career services in Seinäjoki UAS's schools assists
students in finding contacts and building relationships in the working world.
The counsellors help students to acquire information about practical training
placements and opportunities, to plan their career and perceive their position
in the labour market. Students also have access to related online services. As
graduation or application periods for summer jobs approach, students may take
advantage of the Jobstep Career and Recruitment Service of the Finnish
Polytechnics (www.jobstep.net).
The services offer students the opportunity to make electronic curriculum vitae.
It is best to first turn to the practical training supervisor or head of degree
programme in questions and issues pertaining to career counselling.
Consultation for studying abroad
The purpose of supervision for international study is to provide students with
holistic support in their study process, professional development and life
situation in general as it relates to international study. Supervision for
international study involves guidance for students going abroad and exchange and
degree students arriving to the UAS as well as general guidance for all other
students in their internationalisation process. Counselling and consultation for
international study is divided into counselling for the types of courses, etc.
students should consider taking while abroad and counselling that pertains to
teaching arrangements and support activities.
Other academic support services

the
"Main university regulations" -section at the beginning of the
guide where you will find information pertaining to the degree regulations,
