To complement our diverse student population, we offer comprehensive global education opportunities with renowned universities like Helsinki University, Linkoping University, Stockholm University, VIA College, PH Zurich, Queen's University and The Education University of Hong Kong. Student teachers can choose to do a semester at our partner universities to gain a more international outlook in the hope that they develop into global-minded and culturally-sensitive individuals.
