Upon completion of the orientation week, the student is expected to grasp the principles of studying in the university and to be familiar with the University of Tampere as a study environment.

This one week orientation course is offered jointly for all international students (degree and exchange) at the beginning of the Autumn and Spring semesters. It is most important for you to take part in it.
On the first day of the Orientation, a session on how to fill in the registration papers is offered. During the week you will get information on studies and study practices as well as library, computer and other systems and services at the University of Tampere. You will also learn about Finnish customs and the history of the City of Tampere.  A bus tour around the city is also included.

The Orientation Week programme will be published in the summer 2014.
