Orientation days
Orientation days for new students are arranged in the beginning of each semester. It is very important that all new students participate, as the orientation includes important information about organising your studies, University in general, living in Finland among other things. You also have an excellent opportunity to meet the other international students and make new friends!
Orientation Days in 2024-2025
Orientation days in the Autumn semester:
- Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th of August 2024

Students who start their studies in our international Master's degree programmes, will also have a kick-off meeting with their own Master's programme where they can draft their own personal study plans and go through which courses to begin with. These meetings take place close to the orientation days, and exact time and location will be sent to the Master's degree students by e-mail.
The official duration of an academic year is from the 1st August to 31st July, and academic year is divided into two semesters:
- Autumn semester, 1 August – 31 December
- Spring semester, 1 January – 31 July
Note: Students will receive the programme before the orientation days.
