Enroll to Tamko’s Zoom workshop on remote studying, 30th March 2021: https://bit.ly/38yhD46

Hi, you wouldn’t have anything to say about this would you? We would need a couple of ideas: what would get you and your friends interested in doing things together with other people? How would you make remote studying more enjoyable? What things are difficult for you and how could you be helped with them? Would you have a specific skill that you could teach others? Lets find everyone a group!

Come and discuss your ideas in our Zoom workshop on the 30th of March at 4pm-5pm, so this does not take long! All degree students are welcome, whether you are studying an bachelors or a masters. You know the best about remote studying and working so we want your opinion! For people participating in the workshop, there is a small prize!

2. Enrolment period to become an International Tutor 8.3.-28.3.2021

International Tutors are making sure that new exchange students of TAMK arriving in August are integrating to TAMK, Tampere and Finland. Tamko will be training all the new International Tutors in TAMK and supports them along the way. There will be two online training evenings this spring for selected tutors. You’ll also get an extra point from tutoring if you’re leaving for an exchange yourself. Tutors will also need to fill up final report in order to get 2 study credits.

We’ll monitor coronavirus situation throughout the spring and summer and inform the tutors selected actively.
