The next Winternational Week @KAMK  will take place physically in Kajaani on 13 - 17 February 2023, except for the Virtual Winternational Week of the Master School in Business. The programme will start on Monday 13 February and end after lunch on Friday 17. The preliminary programmes can be found below.

Lecturers invited by KAMK do not need to pay for their participation in the Winternational Week except for the husky safari which costs approximately 100 euros/person.

The aim of each BIP-funded course is to develop a short, intensive joint mobility curriculum and activities for a minimum of 15 participants outside the organizing institution (students and/or university staff). The participating students will be granted, depending on the course, either 3 or 5 ECTS. The project consists of a virtual component of online pre-course activities and a short physical mobility phase of 5 days.

School of Health and Social Services

The School of Health and Social Services organizes its 9th bachelor-level 3-ECTS intensive course in evidence-based practice which is open for international students and lecturers in nursing, public health nursing and social work. The theme of the BIP course is multidisciplinary cooperation.
