1. The application period for international tutoring is open!

International tutors are eligible for 2 study credits, 1 extra point to their own exchange study application (only when the tutoring is completed) and a stamp to your Tursaspassport. Along side these, you will get an incredible chance of networking internationally and up your skills as a tutor. Anyone from any degree programme can become an international tutor.
The application period is open 11.3.-31.3.2024

2. Participate in your own degree programme’s feedback sessions
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!

Hey student! Remember to pay the healthcare fee to Kela!
The fee must be paid by all students who are completing a degree at a Finnish institution of higher education and have registered as attending for the term in question.
Healthcare fee’s due date for the spring term is Friday 15th of March and it is EUR 36.80 per term. The fee must be paid for both the spring and autumn terms by using the OmaKela e-service. If you cannot use OmaKela for instance because you do not have Finnish banking credentials, please pay the fee to Kela as a bank transfer.

4. TAMK students’ annual degree show
Welcome to the exhibition opening on Thursday 13.3.2024 at 17-20!
This year’s annual degree show Ambit brings forth upcoming artists with new visions that question the traditional boundaries of fine art. Tradition and modern issues meet in the exhibition, which challenges the viewer to study other visual art forms in the context of fine art, and ponders upon its role in the modern world. With artworks ranging from interactive media installations to traditional oil paintings, moving image, and narrative works, the show encompasses a variety of art that values each artist’s unique creative process.
Ambit features the works of 14 emerging artists from the graduating class of Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) Fine Art study path. The artists participating in this year’s degree show are Daria Crăciun, Robert Eftychiou, Victoria Fofanova, Veera Hanhiniemi, Halla Hannelin, Veera Jokitalo, Gustavo Juber, Saara Kankare, Mikko Louhimaa, Iiris Manner, Pihla Paju, Jan Pitkäsalo, Eevi Siniketo and Silja Tusa.
Exhibition is open 14.3.- 7.4.2024

5. Outdoor day at Pyynikki
Come join us on a outdoor day and good company on VETO-clubs and Mesikerho’s shared day at Pyynikki’s beautiful terrains.
