TAMK annual review 2024
President's overview 2024
The year 2024 at TAMK was both a period of change and a period of stabilising operations. Typical to today, few isolated incidents gained major media visibility at the expense of our successful day-to-day work, even though excellent everyday performance often has a much wider and more far-reaching impact. As the year drew to a close, the overall outlook at TAMK grew increasingly stable, positive and hopeful.
Our impact in numbers
Reviews of TAMK operations
Education
By continuing to actively develop our education offering, we have managed to bring down the number of dropouts across all fields of study. The new curriculum enables increasingly unique student paths for students. The number of graduates keeps growing. See all education key figures.
Research and development
The Applied Research Center builds up TAMK’s RDIC profile during its first year of operation. TAMK joined the Uninovis Alliance, a European consortium for higher education institutions. Our project activities were successful and impactful on many fronts.
Continuous learning
Continuous learning took major steps forward. With the introduction of new education offerings and improved cooperation with other institutions of learning, continuous learning took an increasingly prominent role.
Internationality
The strategic steering group for internationality began to take TAMK’s internationality efforts to a clearer, more target-oriented direction. TAMK joined the Uninovis Alliance with six other European higher education institutions.
Sustainability and social responsibility
The theme of sustainability and social responsibility was incorporated in several functions. The EduSTA project took our teachers’ sustainability competence to a new level. Sustainability and social responsibility formed an important area of improvement also with external partners.
Personnel review
2024 was a typically active year for TAMK’s personnel. We succeeded very well in reaching our goals. In the autumn, our incoming new president caused palpable anticipation among our personnel.
Cooperation in the Tampere Universities community
TAMK and Tampere University create opportunities for learning as well as for the development of business and the society at large. Our cooperation and shared development efforts yielded visible results.
Students' union
For TAMK students, 2024 was filled with changes, various activities and advocacy work. The year culminated in a welcome speech by the new president as we looked eagerly on to 2025.
