Become an international tutor for new Master’s Degree Programme Students 11.03.2010

Become an international tutor for new Master’s Degree Programme Students

As a tutor you’ll have an opportunity to help new international students to settle in a student life in Turku, share your experiences and learn about new cultures. You will also help the student with all kinds of practical matters upon his/her arrival.
TYY wants to safeguard free education 09.03.2010

The recent debate on free education has not, in TYY’s opinion, proceeded favourably. There have been serious proposals presented on implementing tuition fees for all students studying in Finland, including Finns. TYY is absolutely opposed to tuition fees in all its forms. TYY’s position is also clearly shown in the Student Union political agenda: “Education leading to a degree must be free-of-charge to students.”

Equality and equality-based free education are values that cannot be questioned and, in a civilized welfare state, cannot be crushed.
