Apply to a career mentoring programme for international degree students!

A mentor is a professional who can offer support, perspectives, and networks to students. Mentoring can help you, the actor, look at your strengths and encourage you to take on new challenges.

“The mentoring program was a great experience. It is a chance not just to meet a mentor but to find a friend. I learnt a lot about her profession, past experiences, and knowledge, got an evaluation of my personal skills and achievements, as well as recommendations regarding my future career path. My mentor believed in me and inspired me to move forward confidently. I wish you all find great mentors and have a fruitful time within the program!” – Mariia Pohorila (Mentee in Talent Hub Mentoring Programme 2023)

The programme includes mentors from a wide range of backgrounds from a variety of fields (also academics). Mentoring is done in form of group mentoring, and it takes place in English. Check out the spring 2024  Mentors´ profiles and read more about our mentoring programme .

The application period ends at the end of November (Please, Hurry up!) and the groups will be filled based on the applications.

The mentoring programme is part of the Talent Hub Eastern Finland project Co-funded by the European union

Participate in the survey:  Online exams and remote monitoring

Dear Teacher or Student, please answer the survey, and influence the procurement of proctoring software for online exams!

Do you think it should be possible to monitor remotely conducted online exams more closely? Would there be users for this kind of software in the University of Eastern Finland?
What kind of features should the software have?

The mapping of the procurement of remote monitoring software, aka proctoring software, for online exams continues. Now we are investigating UEF teachers' and students’ opinions and views on the matter: whether there is a need for procurement, how much use the software would have and what kind of features should be found in it.  

The survey was created based on the responses to an online exam-related survey conducted earlier in the autumn. This survey is only aimed at the staff and students of the University of Eastern Finland, so that we can get a better idea of what kind of needs and ideas exist in our organization in particular. More information available on the attachment.

Answer the survey no later than 30.11.2023 and influence future exam practices! All responses are anonymous. See more information on Viva Engage.
