Join the Ask Me! campaign to welcome new students to the University of Oulu

Do you remember what it felt like to start university? When your head was full of questions, and you weren’t always sure who to turn to? In autumn 2025, the University of Oulu will launch the Ask Me! campaign for the first time, with the goal of making it easier for students to ask questions.

Maybe you remember the kinds of questions you had when you first started university. During the Ask Me! campaign, new students are encouraged to reach out to more experienced students and staff for help and advice. You don’t need to know all the answers – all it takes is a willingness to stop for a moment, listen, and look for an answer together.

You'll find a list of frequently asked questions and useful tips about student services on the Ask Me! campaign page.
