Orientation days

- online
- Sept 8, 2026, at 13-16
- Orientation to the programme
Participation in the Orientation Days is essential and compulsory for all students, serving as the perfect kick-start to your academic journey. During orientation days, you'll be introduced to the facilities and services, providing you with a comprehensive overview of what to expect during your time here. It's also a great opportunity to meet and bond with your study group, fostering connections that will support your learning. You'll engage directly with influential figures pivotal to your future success, including the programme head, your tutor teacher, lecturers, study counselor, TAMK social counselor, among others. The orientation days will provide you with the necessary tools and connections to succeed in your studies and beyond.
Starting of studies
The first courses start on Sept 14. See full schedule below.
The learning experience is enhanced by active participation. Attendance to the contact sessions on campus is therefore vital for academic progress. Attending classes ensures that valuable learning opportunities are not missed. It also supports keeping learners engaged and connected with peers and instructors.
Attendance policy
Attendance at all on-campus contact sessions is essential, and students in the programme are expected to be present for every session. These sessions play a crucial role in learning, collaboration, and overall academic success, so students should plan accordingly to ensure their full availability.

This information is especially important if you wish to transfer credits for some previously completed Master-level courses, since you need to propose the substitution and discuss the matter with your study counsellor (see contact information below). If you have questions about credit transfer, it’s best to book a meeting time or to send email ahead of time to avoid the rush during the orientation days.
