A pre-arrival information session on 29 November 2022, spring semester 2023

<p>During the Welcome Week, you will receive information on studying at Tampere University, our student guidance and counselling services, the Student Union and <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/en/students-guide/handbook/uni/exchange-studies/information-exchange-students-university/registration-authorities-new-exchange-students">required registrations</a> after arrival. As a part of the Welcome Week programme, some study fields may arrange their own information sessions. Please notice that <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/en/students-guide/handbook/uni/exchange-studies/information-exchange-students-university/registration-courses-and-study-practices-exchange-students">final registration for courses</a> happens during July-August and in December, but the deadlines for registrations can vary in different courses.</p>

<ul>

<p>We know that starting university can be a daunting experience and a big adjustment, especially when it involves moving to another country. But be assured that there are plenty of other students in the same position as you are and we will do our best to organise some get together events as well.</p>
