Student mobility
November 24th, 2010 - Kristiina Anttila
• Aiming to increase flexible virtual student mobilty between UAS’s
• Finnish Online UAS –portal: www.amk.fi • Ministry of Education funding 2007-2009
- Mobility increased but the balance between in- and outgoing students was not achieved
- Currently not enough mobility to finance it - Is a possibility for strategic partnerships and
both national and international networking
