Transfer students, open UAS pathway students, and students starting with an incomplete degree
Transfer students, those coming from UAS pathway studies and students continuing an incomplete degree will begin their studies with an orientation at the Talonpojankatu campus on 22 August 2025. Participation online is also possible.
Friday, 22 August 2025
The program will be held both live and online (zoom). We will send more information in the new student’s orientation letter in the beginning of August. It will also include an attendace request. Students need to let us know in advance whether they will attend the orientation (yes or no) and if so, whether they will attend on campus or online. Based on the registration information, remote links (zoom) will be added to this page closer to the orientation. Note that the orientation of Pietarsaari study groups is held only online, others are hybrid (on campus and on zoom).
