International students are housed in apartments near the university, often private with baths, kitchens and study areas. MSU students will be provided with lunches on campus each day as a part of the exchange. Other meals must be purchased and prepared in residences by students. The exchange agreement stipulates that MSU students will pay tuition and general fees at MSU, and provide for other costs abroad. TUT is a university of technology, with an emphasis in all forms of engineering, occupational health, computer science, economics and business, and architecture.
All classes are in English.
If MSU students maintain at least one half of their curriculum at TUT during their stay, they may also participate, with the permission and guidance of TUT staff, in general studies in English at the University of Tampere.
