LAB uses an online mobility software called Mobility-Online. It was taken in use for all mobilities starting from academic year 2020-2021. When traveling abroad, outside of Finland, related to LAB studies, each LAB student must fill out an online form to the LAB Mobility-Online software. The software has several programmes in use and the online form to be used depends on the type of the mobility. A separate online form needs to be done for each mobility period. Also our incoming exchange students apply to LAB via Mobility-Online system.

Mobility-Online programmes for LAB degree students

Student applying for study exchange (incl. placements organised by the host institution) in a partner institution fills in the student exchange application form called Study Abroad during the application period and places three alternative destinations on the form.

Those who have found placement outside Finland, need to register their placement into LAB Mobility-Online. The used programme is called International Internship. In case grant can be paid for the placement abroad, International Mobility Services will reallocate the registration to the correct programme and grant can be then applied within LAB Mobility-Online. Note that possible Erasmus+ traineeship documents are done via LAB Mobility-Online after your application has been allocated to the correct programme in LAB Mobility-Online by International Mobility Services.

Further info on placement abroad

Students participating in short mobility periods, long-term free mover exchanges (e.g. via Asia Exchange) and other study visits outside of Finland without grant paid by LAB International Mobility Services, fill in the Mobility period abroad -form at the stage when the mobility period has been already confirmed. Students participating in Erasmus+ intensive weeks will receive a link to a correct application form from LAB International Mobility Services.
