Content

You can carry out practical training in different social and health care environments, either in Finland or abroad. Practical training can also be conducted within various social and health care projects. If you participate in an international conference and visit social and health care organizations abroad (approximately 5 days), you will earn 2,5 ECTS for the internship. If you are on exchange abroad for a longer period and you are familiarizing yourself with the management and development practices of a healthcare organization, it will be agreed upon in advance with the internship supervisor whether the exchange will replace the entire internship period. The total scope of the internship is 5 ECTS (135 hours), of which approximately 55 hours are reserved for creating the plan and final report, and 80 hours are allocated for the actual internship. The internship does not have to be continuous; you can plan the timing to achieve the goals you have set for the internship.
