At the event, companies get to meet Master's students from different fields and hear their ideas for thesis topics, or just discuss Finnish working life and recruitment.
For international students, Thesis Fair gives an opportunity to present their potential research topics and to network with representatives of companies in various fields. Tampere University educates international students in international degree programmes in most of its fields in all seven faculties.
The event is organised with the same event concept in autumn 2024 at Tampere University and Aalto University.
For companies
Through Thesis Fair and by offering thesis positions to international students companies
- gain access to the latest knowledge and expertise in their field
- can utilise one of the most effective means of recruiting graduating students
- can test potential new employees before long-term recruitment
- get an excellent opportunity to create a positive employer image and become profiled as an organisation that promotes diversity
For many international students, Master's thesis is the gateway to Finnish working life. International students who do their thesis in cooperation with a company or research organisation are more likely to stay working in Finland after graduation.
Thesis Fair is aimed at companies and organisations that
- are interested in utilising the skills and research knowledge of an international student
- wish to hire international talents or to just meet and get to know international student
- already have a theme in mind for a possible thesis project or are thinking about a possible topic
A company does not need to have open thesis positions available at the time of the event to participate, interest to hire thesis workers and get to know international students is enough!
