1. Degree tutors, application period 11th of October until 14th of November 2021
Degree tutors are helping out new degree students of TAMK. They are playing an important part in integrating new students to Tampere and TAMK. Degree tutors will gain new friendships and study credits: sounds like a great deal, huh? Degree tutors work with their Finnish peer tutor colleagues and meet the new students once a month during their first academic year 2022-2023. Enroll here.
2. Tursajaiset 13 October
This year Tursajaiset will be organized on Thursday, 13th of October. The event is a traditional welcoming event for all new students of TAMK. The daytime event is free for all new students. We will start the event at midday (12 p.m.) from TAMK main square (the square at the Teiskontie side) and after group formation, we will march together to Keskustori (Tampere Town Square) where new students will pledge the new student’s vow, called Tursasvala. After the vow, our whole group will move together towards the mysterious Tursasland.
The daytime activities will end at 7 p.m. This year the after party will be held in two places: Ravintolamaailma and Bricks. The group with the most points will be awarded at the after party. Tickets are 6€ from Kide.app, and 9€ at the door.
The overall badges will be given at the after parties as long as there are badges to give. If you don’t want to purchase a ticket and come to the after party, you can buy the overall badge from the info point at daytime event. Overall badge will cost 2€ at the daytime event.
All Tamko events are harassment free. Tamko’s harassment contacts are available at the event. They can also be reached afterwards via email at harassment(at)tamko.fi.
