Student Life
The campus is a nearly 24/7 experience – your days will not only consist of lectures and essays. Students work in small groups in the library or the Open Lab or Y-campus facilities, choosing the best time for co-creation and collective sharing. TAMK campuses have restaurants and cafés that offer meals from breakfast to dinner for a very affordable price (e.g. lunch is 2,60 € for a full meal) thanks to the Social Insurance Institution of Finland, which subsidizes student cafeterias. Sport Uni provides high-quality, versatile, and equal sports services for university students and personnel in the Tampere region. You can use three campuses' services for just one fee (68-78 € / year). Unipol Sport's services are open to all 35 000 TAMK, TUT, and UTA students and the universities’ 4 500 employees. All personnel, postgraduate students, and students registered as present can use the services throughout the year. Tamko is the Students' Union for all TAMK students. The Finnish Students' Unions are recognized and regulated by the law of the Universities of Applied Sciences. The basic task of Tamko is to represent the students within the TAMK administration and to improve their studies as well as social conditions. Tamko also organizes tutoring, sports services, and other leisure activities.
Housing
In Tampere there are several student housing associations, which handle all incoming students from all over Finland and abroad. Students can choose to share a flat to save costs (rent approx. 300€/month/person). The rent includes electricity, hot water, and the use of sauna and laundry facilities. The rooms assigned to new foreign students are usually furnished with a bed, a mattress, a table, and a chair. Most flats have an Internet connection, and the usage fee is often included in the rent. If you get an unfurnished room, TAMK's social counsellor can help you acquire basic furniture after you arrive in Tampere.
