Orientation days

Welcome!

Orientation days for new students are arranged in the beginning of each semester. Participation is mandatory and it is very important that all new students participate, as the orientation includes important information about organizing your studies, the university in general, living in Finland among other things. You also have an excellent opportunity to meet the other students and make new friends!

These meetings take place close to the orientation days, and exact time and location will be sent to the degree students by e-mail.
