University of Helsinki

The International Students want to work in Finland after they graduate, however they often lack professional networks in the Finnish workforce to help give them an edge in finding a job.

To solve this challenge, we have launched the HelsinkiUNI International Talent Programme (HITP), a group mentoring programme, which pairs international students with organisations and companies in Finland who provide mentoring and insight into their work.

For individual alumni and friends of the university, we also have a group-mentoring programme to support international students. 

The student dormitory is the largest and can accommodate up to 92 people, with a large common room, two kitchens, a fireplace and two saunas. 

Two smaller dormitories, Piikala and Herrala, generally house our longer term guests, teachers and seminar organizers. Each of these dormitories has its own kitchen and common room, and Piikala has its own sauna as well.

The Station also has pet rooms if you wish to bring yours along. Please be sure to ask well in advance about their availability. Please note that there is an additional fee for pet rooms.

Washers and driers are available in Piikala for a small fee. Students can use the washer and drying rooms located in the student dormitory.

You can contact Helsinki University Library either via customer service or by contacting one of the service-specific email addresses or key members of staff.

Helsinki University Library serves customers in the Main Library in Kaisa House and three libraries on other University campuses and maintains two learning centres.
