Every year, approximately 1,000 University of Helsinki students embark on a compulsory or elective traineeship as part of their studies. This means that there is certainly demand for traineeship placements!
When you recruit a student as a trainee, you will gain access to the latest research information from the University in addition to a valuable employee. Many employers go on to hire their trainees for longer contracts.
As the University offers the broadest range of education in Finland, our students are suitable for many different types of traineeship duties. Trainees can, for example, perform duties related to marketing and communications, such as social media communications, website development, content planning, content production or event communications. The trainee can also draft reports, questionnaires or other research and projects that can benefit your organisation.
Trainees must be assigned duties that enable them to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained during their studies. Primarly a traineeship is one of the first opportunities for a student to utilize the expertise gained in studies and it is important to acknowledge this in the recruitment process. The trainees duties must provide an opportunity for learning new things.
You can advertise a traineeship placement in the JobTeaser service. For more on JobTeaser, visit the Aarresaari website.
The JobTeaser job portal provides a forum for reaching University of Helsinki students and graduates seeking employment in their field. For students, we particularly welcome adverts for summer work, part-time work that can be completed alongside studies or short-term substitute positions. Employees for more challenging tasks can be found from among our graduates.
If you are interested in hiring a University of Helsinki student for a substitute position, student organisations are a good point of contact.

As a university, we work in close collaboration with business and society to help solve real world problems with innovative, practical solutions.
As part of this mission, organisations can propose a Master’s Thesis about a topic or problem of your choice. Research and survey projects are excellent opportunities for commissioning a master’s thesis. For the student, the master’s thesis demonstrates their learning and forms a coherent whole with a set research question, goal, scope and schedule.
Thesis cooperation is available in all of the University’s fields of education and partners can be found from a wide variety of employer sectors.
As an organisation, you can advertise a topic for a commissioned master’s thesis on JobTeaser. Students will contact you directly if they are interested in the topic and it suits their studies. The student will arrange approval from the degree programme for both the thesis topic and the commission.
Note! The University of Helsinki has different practices for doing a commissioned Master's thesis. Career Services is currently exploring these practices, meaning the guidelines are under construction.The university may also be a party to the agreement.
The University of Helsinki does not have a system for deeds of donation or a foundation that could fund a commissioned master’s thesis.
Instructions for posting an advertisement can be found on the Aarresaari website.

What is the HelsinkiUNI International Talent Programme?
Many international students of the University of Helsinki are looking for a job or traineeship in Finland. International students have a great deal of language and cultural skills that are useful for interaction with international collaboration partners, for example.
Engaging an international student as a trainee is a good way to explore the diversity and international perspective of your organisation. It also provides the opportunity to increase the equality of your recruitment practices.
When recruiting an international expert, you should consider issues such as these:
Citizens of EU and EEA countries face no restrictions on working in Finland. Students from outside the EU and EEA can work in a full-time traineeship role as part of their studies, and work in a role unconnected to their studies for an average of 25 hours a week per term. In addition, students from outside the EU and EEA have no restrictions on working during the University’s holiday periods.
Under current legislation, after graduation international students from outside the EU can apply for a one-year residence permit for the purpose of seeking a job or starting a company.
For further information on the employment opportunities of international students in Finland, please see the website of the Finnish Immigration Service.
