Information Service and Document copies (certificates and transcripts of records)

Information service

1) If you need history information on Tampere University of Applied Sciences or its predecessor organisations or your information request is more extensive than a single document copy, please contact TAMK’s archive by email: tamk [at] tuni.fi (tamk[at]tuni[dot]fi).

2) If you want a certified copy of your degree certificate, please read the section Document Copies. Certificate copies are subject to a fee.

3) If you need a transcript of records, please check StudyInfo’s free Koski service (only in Finnish) which includes both study rights and study attainments. A stamped transcript of records requested from TAMK is subject to a fee. Information on ordering a stamped transcript of records can be found at Document Copies. If you are a TAMK student, you can print the transcript of records on PAKKI student desktop. An electronically certified transcript can be ordered at Ordering. A free paper version can be ordered through this link.

4) If you graduated from TAMK or its predecessors and you need further information or account of your degree, please go to Further Clarification.

5) If you search for old course descriptions (TAMK, PIRAMK) for credit transfer, they can be found at Old Curricula (page will be published in English later).

Document copies (certificates and transcripts of records)

TAMK stores all archive materials of PIRAMK (1997-2009) and TAMK’s and Professional Teacher Education’s documents from 2010.

TAMK’s and Professional Teacher Education’s documents made before 2010 are in the City of Tampere’s archive.

The City of Tampere’ archives have an e-form with which graduates can request copies of their old certificates.
