Every student in TAKK is automatically a member in our student body called TAKKikunta. TAKKikunta promotes cooperation among the students and their possibilities to influence, for example the study environment.

In addition, TAKKikunta organises events on both campuses, museum visits, nature walks and other fun activities. It is possible to complete some YTO studies by attending the activities.

You’ll find the current events in Tuudo App. Welcome!

Support for job search

We invest in the employment of our students from the very beginning of their education. The on-the-job learning periods are planned so that they support the student’s working life goals. 

We organise recruitment events, and cooperate with employers, recruitment companies and the City of Tampere Employment Services to ensure the employment of our students when they finish their studies. Thanks to our extensive employer network, our students find employment when completing their studies. Read more about our support for job search.
