1. Tamko is searching for enthusiastic international tutors!
Join Tamko’s big bunch of tutors and be there to welcome the new exchange students in August! As an international tutor, you’ll ensure that our exchange students feel welcome in TAMK and have someone they can rely on. Not to worry, you’ll have an excellent network of other international tutors and experts helping you!
Tamko trains all the international tutors of TAMK. The training consists of two evening sessions in the April, and the exact dates will be announced later. International tutors are eligible for 2 study credits, one extra point when applying for exchange themselves (after the tutoring is completed), and a stamp on the Tursaspassi.
Application period for international tutoring is 13.3. – 2.4.2023
Apply by filling this form: https://forms.office.com/e/Jc45A9snws
…And after that you are one step closer to joining the adventures of international tutoring!
2. Pivo isn’t working? Mobile student card is only on Tuudo!
Pivo not working? Neither should it, because Tamko’s mobile student card is only on Tuudo!
Tuudo is a free app, that has been made to make students’ life a bit easier. in addition to Tamko’s mobile student card, you can find from Tuudo example your timetables, study credits, reservations for classrooms and other TAMK’s spaces, cafeteria’s menu and course enrolments, quite handy!
You can find student card from Tuudo from page menu on right side behind the wallet icon next to your name.
– Check out the detailed instructions from Tamko’s website: https://tamko.fi/news/tamkos-mobile-student-card-can-now-be-found-from-tuudo/
– There is also video instructions on Tamko’s Instagram profile on Tuudo-highlights!
We no longer work with Pivo, so unfortunately the student card can no longer be found in that app.
3. Feedback sessions – Let’s discuss and develop it together!
Student feedback was collected last year in the spring and autumn feedback weeks in the form of a new student and annual feedback surveys. Feedback was also collected from master´s degrees and through Graduation phase survey.
During the spring, students and staff will discuss the feedback at joint degree programme specific events, in which the possible development measures will also be agreed
Follow your Degree Programme’s info on the time of the feedback events, get involved and share your ideas!

4. (T)Universal Networking event 21.3.
Have you always wanted to create a worldwide network and bond with foreign or like-minded adventurous people, but haven’t found the chance?
Now’s your time. (T)Universal Networking event!
During the Eye on TAMK event, we are organizing a networking event for exchange students, and for people who have struggled to get in contact with international students despite wanting to. Tuniversal Networking is a playful event where you can bond with international people easily and most importantly, with snacks.
The event takes place at the main campus, in classroom B5-26 from 14:00 to 16:00. During the day we have free snacks and some playful networking games to break the ice, and later in the evening we have an afterparty. The afterparty location will be revealed later, so stay in touch with us to find out more!
Please fill in the following form to sign up to our first networking event: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvYyOIltx_rPfloKn1_Z_u2wR7n_Jl7ofmwJHucOHB4iu3rw/viewform

This year, the ticket can be exchanged for a pass the day before the event from the center campus between 16-19. On the day of the event, the ticket exchange is at Tammelantori at 16-17:30!
