Initial assessments for International Degree students
If you are an International Degree Student studying in Jyväskylä, in addition to the guidance and counseling related to everyday living, you can request initial assessment from International House Jyväskylä in English.
Initial assessment is meant to map out your possible needs related to studies and language training, employment, socializing and networking, hobbies or any other aspect, which could help you integrate better into the Finnish society. It doesn’t matter if you are new here or have been living in this region for quite a while. You can get in touch with us. It is one of the ways, in which The City of Jyväskylä welcomes you here!
The initial assessment provides information and guidance on Jyväskylä services and provides guidance with regard to the appropriate measures.
Register for the initial assessment by completing the form below.
