What is tamko?
Every University of Applied Sciences has a Students’ Union which monitors students’ rights and interests. The Finnish Students’ Unions are recognized and regulated by the law on Universities of Applied Sciences.
The Students’ Union of Tampere University of Applied Sciences (Tamko) makes sure that the voice of TAMK students is heard not only in TAMK but also in University community and Pirkanmaa area. In addition, Tamko trains all TAMK tutors.
Our student card serves as a sign of Tamko membership. The student card is your key to unlock all the national and local student benefits. Welcome to join, there are already over 7500 of us!
