Groups and workshops

Here you can find information about the different study groups, workshops and events organized by Guidance Services. They are open to all Oulu University and Oulu University of Applied Science Students.

To whom?

Are you struggling with time management issues? Do you wish to meet other students at campus and study together at the same time? Do you need someone to polish your CV and maybe need some prepping for internship interviews? You are very welcome to join our study and career groups, workshops and events!

Groups, workshops and events are open to all University and University of Applied sciences students, no matter if you are starting your first year in Oulu or already closer to worklife. The groups and workshops usually are quite small, around 10 persons, and cross-disciplinary, so they are great places to meet new faces from other faculties and study programmes; and the best is, that the other students you meet, might be facing exactly the same challenges or life-situations you are. The groups, workshops and events are lead and organized by our study psychologists and study and career guides.

Stay active events

Do you wish to meet other international students, improve your study ability and learn ways to reduce stress during your studies? Do you enjoy outdoors and wish to explore your close-by nature? Come and join our Stay Active! -events! They are open to all Oulu University and Oulu University of Applied Science Students.

Stay Active events are organized by guidance services as part of the Talent Boost project. The focus of Stay Active events is on supporting your study ability and well-being and simultaneously meeting new people and learning to stay active during your academic studies. In our events, you will get to meet a career counselor, a sports coordinator and a study psychologist.

You have to register to each activity separately. However, all the activities are planned as a package to help you explore your own inner student journey, and support you throughout the year. You will get the best out of them by joining all the activities during the academic year.
