Student Tutoring
General information
Tutors are senior students from the same field of study and have been trained for tutoring. Together with their tutor, a group of around ten new students get to know their own field and faculty, how things work on campus and in Oulu in general. Students new to Oulu will get their first group of friends right away and feel more like home.
Student Tutor's tasks are:
- to integrate a new student to the University and to the student community
- to familiarize a new student with….
- pre-arrival information (arrival in Oulu, Housing)
- the other students
- the services for students
- the University as a learning environment
- the degree programme and how to study in the University of Oulu - tips for studing
- planning studies and time management
- the student life and free time activities
- the Finnish culture and habits
As a new student, your tutor will be in contact with you closer to the start of your studies. The orientation week will run smoothly with your own tutor in your study groups! Typically, tutors spend 10-15 hours guiding new students during the first few months.
If needed, you can get the contact information of your tutor or kummi student from your faculties Academic Affairs Service Team.
