Universities have always been international but with varying levels and objectives. The University of Oulu has ambitious goals to deepen its internationalisation and to improve the integration and retention of international experts in Finland. This is also a ministerial requirement.


The University of Oulu is already quite international: According to the 2021 statistics, only Aalto University and Svenska handelshögskolan (Hanken) have a higher proportion of international employees among the teaching and research staff. Also, our share of international funding for universities was the fourth largest in Finland. Fifty-four per cent of the international funding in 2021 was competitive EU funding.
