The city
Tampere is the largest inland centre in Scandinavia, famous for its high-technology industry. The city can boast to be the cradle of mobile phone development. The companies in the field of bioengineering, nanotechnology, energy technology, ubiquitous computing, intelligent machines, as well as health and well-being are active and forerunners worldwide.
Tampere offers lots of recreation activities for students: from sports fields to indoor swimming pools, rambling routes and international short film festivals. Not forgetting theatre, a lively music scene of all genres plus a variety of other activities. And not to worry – nearly everyone in Tampere is more or less fluent in English, too.

Student_union
All the TUT students belong to the Student Union after paying the membership fee, which is compulsory for all students (except for doctoral students, to whom it is optional).
The purpose of the Student Union is to act as a link between the university and the students and look after student rights and benefits. Additionally, the Student Union organises all kinds of events and activities, such as concerts, film screenings, excursions and parties.
All members of the Student Union get a student card. Your student card entitles you to various services and benefits, such as discounts at student restaurants and a 50 per cent discount on train and coach tickets.
