Programme for international WELCOME WEEK exchange 19–23 AUGUST students Autumn semester 2019 City centre and Kauppi campuses WELCOME WEEK 19–23 AUGUST 2019 The purpose of the Welcome Week is to assist you during your first days at Tampere University by providing important information on studying and living in Tampere. It is also a great opportunity to meet other international students and make new friends. The Welcome Week programme is free of charge and meant for all international students. We know that starting in a new university may be a daunting experience and a big adjustment, especially when it involves moving to another country. However, be assured that there are plenty of other students in the same boat. You will be able to meet other international students and international student tutors during our Welcome Week events and Tampere city bus tour. Tampere University welcomes you to Tampere! Please note that the programme is subject to change. Photos taken during the Welcome Week may be used in the promotional materials of Tampere University. 2 Tips for the upcoming week • A Wi-Fi network (utapac) is available for you during the Welcome Week.
