A student’s everyday life cannot revolve around exam books and lecture notes alone. Leisure activities are important for everyone. For us in the Students’ Union, the well-being of the student is also important. In addition to our own leisure activities, we inform members about the events and hobbies of third parties and the Students’ Union, where possible.
INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
The key areas of the Students’ Union’s international activities are international tutoring and taking the international perspective into account in the protection of students’ interests. Students’ Union also works to help foreign students to adapt to Finland and to advance domestic internationalization of Finnish students. The aim of international activities is to promote the integration of foreign students and to enable Finnish students to internationalize from home country.
INTERNATIONALIZING FROM FINLAND
- Participate in course held in some other than your own native language
- Join CLINT or apply for other organizations for the role of the international affairs representative
- Attend language club
- Get involved in TAMK’s friendship programme, where you get an international student as your friend.
- Apply for international tutoring!
Tamko trains international tutors, who tutor exchange students incoming to Tampere University of Applied sciences, and degree tutors, who tutor foreign students of degree programs in English in co-operation with peer tutors. Tutors aim to help students in a foreign environment in TAMK and Tampere. International tutoring is an excellent way to improve one’s language proficiency and to meet new friends around the globe. International tutor is often the first connection exchange student has with Finland.
CLINT (Club International Tampere)
Club International Tampere (CLINT) is a sub-organization of Tamko. The main mission of CLINT is to enhance the co-operation between Finnish students and exchange students who come to study in Tampere University of Applied Scienses.
CLINT organizes a variety of events, trips and other activities to help foreign students with their adaptation to Finnish culture with other internationally-minded Finnish students.
