Students graduating in autumn of 2022

Graduation Ceremonies are annually organised in June and December. They are mainly for master’s degree graduates, but bachelor’s degree graduates who do not have the right to study for a master’s degree may also attend.

All students who graduated in 2020-22 are welcome to participate in the graduation ceremonies in December 2022. You can also attend the ceremony if your studies are finished but you do not graduate in time for the ceremony. Relatives are welcome to attend the event, up to 2 guest per graduate.

Unless your Faculty advises you differently, graduated students gather about half an hour prior to the event in Festia lobby outside Festia Main auditorium.

The graduated students will form a procession that walks into the auditorium led by the President. The relatives and other guests should find places in the auditorium well in advance (half an hour).

The dress code is either

  • a suit (a combination of a jacket, trousers and a dress shirt is also all right as long as the outfit is festive) or
  • a festive dress, skirt suit, or a trouser suit.

The same dress code also applies to the guests. On the Hervanta campus, wearing the Teekkari cap is recommended.

The programme of the ceremony:

  • The Formal Procession at 18.00
  • Greetings by Representative of the Executive Leadership of Tampere University, vice president Marja Sutela
  • Speech by senior advisor Jussi Nousiainen,  Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK
  • Music by Teekkarikuoro
  • The Graduates' Speech by D.Sc. (Tech.) Veera Koskue
  • Greetings from TREY Student Union by chariman of the board, Aleksi Niemi

The ceremony lasts for about an hour, after which sparkling wine is served outside the auditorium and the guests can congratulate the graduates.
