I mentioned earlier something about an orientation week, and you may wonder what it is. During the orientation week, you’ll get to know the university and your fellow students. There will be fun games and tours around the city and the campus. The orientation week starts the 19th of August. I recommend marking this into your calendars with a big note and making sure you have the whole week free for activities. Also there will be a headstart to the orientation week on the 18th of August, where you may come to hang out and get to know your tutors and other fuksi minded people!

You don’t have to know anything when you get to the orientation week, I will be there with our lovely tutors to guide you through everything! The orientation week is great way to get your studies started and get to know the rather interesting Finnish university life. 

In here will appear our TARAKI-magazine’s fuksi edition. Stay tuned! 

Download the Telegram-app for your phone, and join this years fuksi group by pressing this button .All relevant and current information will be updated there. Also there you can take a quick look at other new students and our tutors:) 

You will get to know your tutors better when we get closer to the orientation week, and they are glad to help you get through your first year here with ease. During the year you may contact them or me directly about anything. We wish you have a great fuksiyear here in Tampere! 

If you have any questions about the orientation week, you may ask them in the fuksi- Telegram group, or ask me directly via email sampsa.seppala@tuni.fi or through direct messages in Telegram @oljylantio 

I wish you have an absolutely amazing fuksiyear, as you will experience it only once!
