Congratulations and Welcome to TAMK!
This page contains practical advice and other useful information, so please read it carefully.
Please note that changes are possible and the page is subject to updates. Ensure you check the information again before the start of your studies, and remember to follow your TUNI email.
Orientation Days
Tuesday–Friday 19–22 August 2025, TAMK Main Campus, Tampere
The studies start
- on Tuesday 19 August 2025 9.30 a.m.
- in TAMK Main Campus, address: Kuntokatu 3, 33520 Tampere
- in Auditorium D1-02.
In the first week, you will be offered comprehensive information about your studies as well as different kind of services and support provided to you by TAMK.
The ENTRE Student Tutors will be waiting for you in the lobby of the TAMK old Main Entrance (address Teiskontie 33, Tampere).
Orientation days are mandatory for all students, and the best way to get started. You will see and hear about our facilities and services, meet with everyone in your study group and get to know each other, and talk to the key people in building your future: the head of your programme, your tutor teacher, other coaches, your study counsellor, TAMK social counsellor, student union members and many more.
In case you have a valid reason why you cannot physically join your study group at TAMK for the orientation days, please contact your Head of the Degree Programme Taru Nurmala well in advance and explain why you cannot attend and ask for further instructions.
Orientation Days Programme
Communication
Microsoft Teams (later Teams) is an important communication channel during your studies and at TAMK. Therefore, it is very important that you have access to it already before the Orientation days!
In order to join your group's Teams, you first need to activate and authenticate your TUNI user account:
- If you already have Finnish online banking access codes, you can authenticate your TUNI user account: Authentication with Finnish online banking access codes.
- If you do not yet have Finnish online banking access codes you will need to use the Finnish Authenticator Identification Service app to activate your TUNI account: Instructions for Finnish Authenticator Identification Service
AFTER you have activated your TUNI account you can request to join your own MS Teams here: Yleinen | TG-25PINKUT 2025-2026 | Ohjaus ja tuutorointi - Study Guidance and Tutoring | Microsoft Teams. Use your TUNI account when logging in. You’ll be accepted to the group as soon as your request to join has been noticed, at the latest by the day when your orientation will start.
Checking of Original Certificates
Checking your original school certificates, work certificates, and other official documents will be extended until you are able to be physically present on campus. Student selection is always conditional until the originals have been compared with the ones sent in the application stage.
Curriculum
Take a closer look at your curriculum Bachelor's Degree Programme in Entrepreneurship and Team Leadership | Study Guide, TAMK to better understand your study and learning goals. The individual descriptions of courses include for example course content, the timing of the course within the academic year, and evaluation criteria.
The curriculum information is especially important if you wish to transfer credits from some previously completed higher education studies. You can start discussions about credit transfer with the Head of Programme Taru Nurmala or with your Study Counsellor Hanna Saraketo during the Orientation Days. If you have questions about accreditation and credit transfer, please send an email ahead of time to avoid the rush during the orientation.
