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!

Orientation Days 2025-2026

Orientation days for Autumn semester : 25 - 29 August 2025

Orientation days for Spring semester: 7 - 9 January 2026

Note: Students will receive the programme before the orientation days. The progamme will be updated on the webpage closer to the date.

January 2025: to be confirmed

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.
