LEADING ARTICLE
Unions over 80 different sections and organizations offer something for everyone
out there, from choir singing to space technology and from role-playing games to
weightlifting. Setting out your own club is also relatively easy. Remember to go to
activities organized by your guild: guilds are the best place to get to know older students from your own field.

doing sports. You may use our sports services whether here in Hervanta or in the
city center and Kauppi campus as well. With the same, relatively small sports fee
you can use any of these offices. Quite awesome, right? Also the three restaurants at
our campus offer diverse and affordable food from breakfast to lunch and from lunch
to dinner.

Remember to study! During your fuksi year you might find combining
studies, getting to know new people and joining fuksi events as a puzzle impossible
to solve. But dont worry. According to my own experiences combining joining free

24/7 campus
TUT is the only university campus in Finland to be at your disposal around the clock. This means
that you can work in the computer rooms all through the night or pump iron at the Tamppi
Areena gym at the crack of dawn. Your student card serves as access control card. However, lets
not take the open campus for granted: please, take good care of our shared facilities. Vandalism,
general tomfoolery or littering have no place in the teekkari culture.

Guilds
TUT has 12 student organisations or guilds, the purpose of which is to bring together the students of a certain programme,
safeguard their interests and organise various events. The most visible activities include sauna evenings, excursions, sports
events and freshmen activities but guilds also organise vocational subject infos, orientations and other useful events. The
most important insignia for a guild is the overall and each guild has their own colour. Each guild also has a guild room
where students from fuksis to more advanced science practitioners are welcome to spend time. At the Pori unit, student
activities are coordinated by Porin Teekkarit ry. Join the guild activities in your freshman year!

The National Union of University Students in Finland (SYL), Lapinrinne 2, 00180 Helsinki, syl@syl.fi
Founded in 1921, SYL is one of the largest student organisations in Finland. Its members include the student
unions of every university in Finland, a total of approximately 132 000 students. As a member of your student
union TTYY, you are automatically a member of SYL. The Union operates on both national and international level.

Be international or be Square!
Internationality and internationalisation (kansainvlisyys or kv for short in Finnish) is the buzz word of the day. On your
arrival at TUT, you will notice that our campus is a constantly evolving international environment. We get approximately 400
exchange students and more than 170 foreign degree students each year. In addition, we have a lot of foreign post-graduate
students and staff members. This gives you an excellent opportunity to become more international and enrich your student life!

Tandem language learning practice your language skills without participating in lectures!
The idea behind Tandem language learning is that two people who are fluent in different languages, such as a Finn and
a German, get together to enhance their language skills: the Finn learns German and the German learns Finnish. The
meetings can take any form and can occur as often as the participants want. Tandem language learning may also be used to
obtain credits by keeping a journal of the meetings but this is not mandatory. The university and the student union organise
tandem events where you can meet other people who are interested in learning new languages.
Find a Tandem partner in POP (keskustelu discussions in English tandem).
For further information on the course, go to Moodle (course name: tandem).

International clubs
There are several international clubs operating at the university offering opportunities to do job training or participate in
a course abroad or just cook exotic food, for example. Everyone is welcome, regardless of nationality. You will meet foreign
students studying at TUT and practice you language and broaden your world view all at the same time.

Professional clubs
As your studies progress, you may want to get more involved in matters of your own field. Clubs are focused on a certain
field of science and offer an excellent route to both developing professional skills and acquiring business contacts. The clubs
maintain connections between students, departments and companies of the field, organise excursions and offer building
opportunities and professional literature, among other things. Many clubs also organise other events, such as sauna
evenings, for their members. The activities are open to anyone who is interested: the number of years you have studied is
not an issue and you dont have to majoring in that particular field. Theres always room!

Leisure clubs
TTYYs associations are among the most active in Finlands student unions. Teekkaris interests range from wine to video,
from electronic music to elocution, from reservist activity to role playing and from making music to motors. Leisure clubs
are for any world traveller or average Joe who share an interest and want to spend their free time doing something they
enjoy. If theres not a club to match your interest you can round up like-minded people and found one. The student union
organisations sector will advice you on how to found an association.
ETO | Student nation for students not from turku | http://eto.fi | hallitus@eto.fi
Ei-turkulainen osakunta or ETO is one of the two student nations operating at TUT. A direct translation of ETOs name into English
would be the Non-turkuan Nation - which basically means that anyone born outside the city of turku is welcomed as a member of
the nation. Although the nation even accepts people who were born in turku as members - as long as they show enough regret for
having been born there. And yes, the lower-case t in the city name is intentional and correct. ETO was founded on the very purpose
of keeping the rivalry between the cities of Tampere and turku alive and its foremost goal is to physically separate the city of turku
from the rest of Finland. Every year ETO organizes an excursion called turkuXQ where we load our sledgehammer and wedge onto a
bus and try to separate turku from continental Finland using them. Failing that we will try to sink the city by jumping up and down
at the marketplace and also try to have other kinds of fun. The second goal is to unite all non-turkuans under one banner and have
fun doing it. For this purpose we organise other smaller events for our members and other students in the spirit of ridiculing turku.

Teekkari cap
The most visible teekkari insignia is the teekkari cap. In Finland, the tasselled cap was
adopted by students of technology towards the end of the 19th century: 2013 marked the
120th anniversary of the teekkari cap. Following various developments, there are now three
different versions in use: the conical version of the Oulu teekkaris, the heptagonal cap of the
Lappeenranta teekkaris and the hexagonal cap used by the Otaniemi and Tampere teekkaris.
Tampere teekkaris put their cap on on the night of 30 April when the Suomen neito statue
also receives a cap. The cap may be used freely in the summer until it is laid to winter rest on
30 September in the Lakinlaskijaiset event. In the winter, the cap may only be used on special
occasions, such as excursions, with the student union boards permission.
The caps are ordered through the student union office between October and March. The cap
costs approximately EUR 100140, depending on how early the order is placed and paid for. The
order process and the price are notified well in advance in the autumn. Fuksis get their cap on
30 April if they have accumulated enough fuksi points. Others will have to wait until Mothers
Day (the second Sunday in May). Fuksis selling the TAMPPI magazine may wear their caps
before 30 April.
The teekkari cap is a teekkari insignia.
