The year has changed, and that means that there are new students in Tampere! It’s time for the Tursas shepherds to go to work and herd the lost Tursas into student life. So now it’s time for Tamko’s 4th Tursajaiset goes winter!
Tursajaiset Goes Winter 2023 will be held on 27.1 and the day event is free for all new students. The event starts at 4pm, when the groups have gathered on the square on the Teiskontie side, from where the whole mass of students will march around TAMK towards Solu to pledge a vow called Tursas vow. After the Tursas vow, the groups can go around tasks around Solu. The group with the highest score and the best costume will be rewarded the following week after the event.
The day event ends at 9pm and from there you can move towards the afterparty. The doors to the afterparty open at 10pm. The after party is at Bricks! Tickets to the after party are 2 € for Tamko’s members and for non-members and from the door 6€.

4. Remember to pay healthcare fee by the end of the January
Remember to pay the healthcare fee to Kela!
The student healthcare fee must be paid by students who are completing a degree at a Finnish institution of higher education and have registered as attending for the term.
- No bill will be sent on the healthcare fee, and thus you have to pay the fee on your own initiative.
- In 2023, the healthcare fee will be EUR 36.80 per term.
- The fee must be paid once per term (spring and autumn).
For the spring term, the due date of payment for the healthcare fee is 31 January 2023, provided you have registered as attending by then.
NOTE: If you have social security coverage in another EU/EEA country or in Switzerland or the United Kingdom, you do not have to pay the healthcare fee. However, you are allowed to use the FSHS’s services.
