About the service
International Student Peer Advice (ISPA) is a service given by international student advisors to international degree students in Aalto University. The advisors themselves are international Aalto students and they offer their guidance and peer support with questions regarding:
- practicalities after admission (tuition fees and scholarships, residence permits, health and insurance, housing etc.)
- practicalities after moving to Finland (registering with the authorities, local transportation, student healthcare etc.)
- other topics related to living and studying in Finland.
All kinds of questions are welcomed, while ensuring that students have access to the right information and support services.
