PetrSU has been working for a long period of time with numerous Finnish universities under mutual student and teacher exchange agreements. 
At the beginning of the year four students from the universities of Oulu, Tampere and
Joensuu arrive to PetrSU to study at the faculties of Economics, History, Political and Social Sciences. The exchange period lasts from February till June 2009.
During this time international students will get acquainted with Russian system of education, will meet new friends in Petrozavodsk and will have an opportunity to learn Karelia.
