Internationalisation is one of the University of Jyväskylä’s overarching strategic objectives. Our multidisciplinary, international education responds to the need for global skills, and we develop it in cooperation with our partners.

We are active within international scientific communities, engaging in strong societal dialogue and stakeholder cooperation.
