Meet the alumnus
Testimonal by alumnus Mia Paul
Mia followed the IMMIT program after graduating from the University of Turku with a major in information systems. Currently, Mia works as an Azure Sales Specialist at Microsoft in Finland. When talking about the student life over the two-year period, "chaotic beauty" is how she describes it. Mia talks about the fact that you will live and study with people from different nationalities and cultures, and you will have to come out of your comfort zone in order to fully experience this. Since IMMIT students study in a relatively small cohort, each cohort tend to form a close group that sticks together.
Next to having good communication with all peers and considering them as close friends, Mia explains that there is also close contact with all the staff members and teachers involved in the program. These people are very enthusiastic about the program, and will give you the feeling that anything is possible with IMMIT.
Student Life On Campus
Each university involved in the IMMIT program has dedicated staff members who are not only responsible for assisting students with administrative tasks but are also available to guide and inform you about the various opportunities and activities available on campus.
Additionally, every university hosts unique study associations that are open to both local and international students. These associations primarily organize formal events and activities aligned with your field of study, but they also arrange informal gatherings, social events, and parties to help you relax and connect with your peers.

Student Life Off Campus
Student life is an essential part of the university experience, especially when you’re living in a country different from your own. In all three cities—Aix-en-Provence, Turku, and Tilburg—you’ll find vibrant and active student communities supported by various organizations that enhance this dynamic lifestyle.
One of the most prominent international student organizations is the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). Active in all three cities, ESN fosters connections among international students by organizing a wide range of formal and informal activities. Additionally, ESN provides support for students studying abroad in Europe, including access to funding opportunities and potential grants.
Sport activities
For sports enthusiasts, each city offers a variety of sports associations that students can join. These associations cater to a wide range of sports and typically hold regular practices and games, either weekly or monthly. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, you’ll find opportunities to participate at your preferred skill level.
