TAMK Student's Handbook
Media and Arts - information for new students
Congratulations – you have been selected in the next intake! You are warmly welcome to join the TAMK community and start building your future. This page has information, guidelines and schedules, which help you in getting started. Please read these instructions carefully.
Please note, that changes on this information are possible. Please follow this site closely before the studies begin.
Studies start on 16 August 2022 at 10.00 in Mediapolis Campus.
On the first day, bring with you the original certificates for verification. These will be compared with the copies which you have sent during the application process. Until a reliable match can be made with the two documents, your admission at TAMK is conditional. For more information about the original certificates, please see detailed information here.
Orientation
Orientation during the first contact week is not only mandatory for all students, it is the best way to get started. You will hear about facilities and services, meet with your study group and get to know each other, meet the key people in building your future: your tutor teacher, your study counsellor, and much more. Open University students join the orientation studies also. In case you are not able to attend orientation, please contact student counsellor (contact information below).
