Tampere higher education cross-institutional studies
Degree and exchange students who have enrolled as present at Tampere University (TAU), Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK), and Police University College (POLAMK), and TAMK’s professional teacher education students may also take courses at other local higher education institutions.
To facilitate this collaboration, the institutions have established Tampere higher education network in autumn 2025. This network replaces the previous Service for Tampere Higher Education Cross-Institutional Studies.
Application procedure
Through the network, students from Tampere University, TAMK and POLAMK will apply for cross-institutional studies via their home institution’s study information systems (Sisu for University and Pakki for TAMK and POLAMK). Approved study attainments are also automatically transferred to the study information system of the student's home university.
