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.

4. How are you doing? Answer the survey if you have gotten the invite!
How are students doing? The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) is inviting university students from all over Finland to a survey on their health, wellbeing, ability to study and use of services. The results will be used to improve student services such as healthcare, sports services and student catering.
How can I participate in the survey?
• 12,000 will be randomly invited to the survey, and they will receive the invitation by email.
• The respondents will be 18–34-year-old Bachelor’s or Master’s level students at higher education institutions across Finland.
• The study will be carried out as an online questionnaire. Filling in the questionnaire will take approximately 20 minutes.
The survey involves partners such as the Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS), the Social Insurance Institution Kela, the Ministry of Education and Culture, National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (SAMOK) and the National Union of University Students in Finland (SYL).

6. Kuisti & Buffalo Club: Naruappro
It’s finally here – the Pub Crawl you’ve never experienced before!
Kuisti ry and Buffalo Club joined forces and bring you for the first time NARUAPPRO!
So gather a team of four (4) people and get ready for an unprecedented pub crawl: NARUAPPRO event combines traditional checkpoints and bar crawls into one event.
At the beginning of the crawl, your team will be given a very valuable rope that the team must hold onto with their right hand throughout the pub crawl! Drinking, of course, happens with the left hand.
You’ll rotate as a team between checkpoints and bars, collecting stamps in your event pass. Remember to hold onto the rope because there are also “moles” on the move who want to nibble on the rope if your hand happens to let go. After the crawl, you’ll receive a commemorative patch and get to attach a piece of the precious rope you’ve been holding onto to your overall.
When? March 28, 2024, in the downtown area of Tampere. Event will start at 16:00 and step by step starts.
The early bird ticket price per person is €6. NOTE! Tickets are purchased as a team, and one participant pays for the whole team’s ticket at once (€24). The regular ticket price is €8 per person (€38 total: https://kide.app/events/d6f2413d-0089-4d5f-a451-1e122ae11f68
