What is ISEP?

ISEP is an international nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. ISEP coordinates student exchanges between the United States and 38 other countries. During the last twenty years, ISEP has successfully sent more than 28,000 U.S. students on international exchanges all over the world. In addition, ISEP has a multilateral exchange program facilitating exchanges between ISEP member universities based outside the United States.

With twelve member universities in Finland, ISEP has something to offer everyone. ISEP’s Finnish member universities offer international study programs taught in English in a wide variety of academic fields. Qualified students, who already speak Finnish or Swedish, may also enroll in other courses available at the Finnish ISEP member universities.

All Finnish ISEP universities also participate in exchanges with ISEP institutions based outside the United States.

ISEP understands the everyday concerns of exchange students. The entire ISEP staff has studied abroad and has thus first-hand knowledge of the challenges that come with living and studying in another country. The ISEP staff has extensive experience in placing students at host universities with appropriate study programs and in transferring academic credits successfully.
