Introduction: Teemu Puumala

Hello everyone! I'm Teemu, a 33-year-old chemical engineering student from Centria University of Applied Sciences. This is my second year at Centria, and in 2 months I'm going to University of the Highlands and Islands in Inverness as exchange student. I have a bachelor's degree at chemistry from the University of Oulu, but this is my first time as exchange student. In Scotland I'm going to study environmental sciences, and I hope in future this gives me an advantage when I apply for supervisor jobs. In today's industrial work English skills are very important, because many companies have international customers and English will be needed every day. However, this is definitely not the only reason why I wait for my stay in Scotland very much: I really feel I have a priviledge to see one of the most beautiful places in the whole world and the Scottish culture.
