Haaga-Helia's International Services is excited to share our new video featuring Erasmus+ Global students from Bhutan and Indonesia.
During the Autumn 2024 semester, Haaga-Helia welcomed three exchange students from Bhutan (Royal University of Bhutan (RUB)) and one from Indonesia ((Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS)) via funding from the Erasmus+Global instrument.
Together with Communications, we produce a video in which the students share and discuss their experiences at Haaga-Helia and living in Finland. They talk about the importance of this international experience for their personal and professional growth and how the international experience will be valuable for their future. Their exchange has also brought new perspectives and cultural understanding.

Erasmus+ covers all fields of study and degree levels in higher education. Mobility between Finnish and foreign higher education institutions (HEIs) is based on bilateral agreements between the institutions. Companies and other public and private organisations and their staff may also participate in some of the actions.
To be able to participate in the actions under the Erasmus+ Programme, the HEI must hold the Erasmus Charter (Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, ECHE), which is awarded by the European Commission. The ECHE lays the foundation for all Erasmus+ cooperation of the HEI and binds the institution to comply with the principles and conditions of the Programme.
In global mobility, only HEIs of the EU Member States and third countries associated to the Programme must hold a valid ECHE. Non-associated third countries in global mobility do not apply for the ECHE, but commit themselves to its principles when concluding the agreement with their European partner.
