Art students do not need to attach a portfolio in this first stage of the application process. The learning agreement is a document in which you set out the courses you intend to complete at the host university during the exchange and the courses you intend to be recognised to your ULapland degree. In the first stage a tentative plan is good enough and no signature is required. Use “Learning Agreement Before Mobility” document, which is available on the web pages of Internationalisation Services. The transcript of records can be the unofficial pdf version that you can order via WebOodi. At this stage it does not have to be stamped or signed. Your motivation letter is a document in which you explain why you want to go on an exchange and why you want to go to the host university in particular. A separate letter has to be written for each host university you apply to; the suggested length is one page (A4).
In your letter of motivation, you should say • Why you in particular should be chosen as an exchange student for the university and why you want to study there. • What field you plan to study and what courses you intend to take at the host university and how you plan to include the courses you complete there in your degree at the University. Indicate whether the courses are part of your major subject or a minor? • What added value will the courses you complete abroad bring to your ULapland degree and how will they further your career plans? • You can also tell about your language skills, other achievements and any previous international experience you have had.
