Common learning outcomes
International outlook and global responsibility

The course is intended for Tampere University students acting as international student tutors for new international students. An international tutor is a peer instructor for a new student and helps the new student to integrate into the new culture, the student community and studies. Tutoring is at its most active during the first weeks of the semester but continues throughout the academic year/semester.
