Tampere University trains international talents in nearly all of its fields of education ranging from engineering to social sciences and from health sciences to security management and IT. Information on the degree programmes offered in English at Tampere University and the competences they offer is available in the programme descriptions on our website.
What can an international student offer to your company?
More than 1000 international students study for a degree in our programmes offered in English. In addition to quality education, one of the most important reasons for students to come to Finland is the possibility to work and create a career in Finland after studies. Most students who are getting ready to graduate plan to stay in Finland to work in an expert position in their field.
Diversity enhances creativity and problem solving and creates new innovations. As part of your company community, international talents help develop the language and intercultural competence of your organisation.
How to recruit an international talent
JobTeaser service
Tampere University uses the JobTeaser service through which an employer can leave job, thesis and internship ads for students and recent graduates. Learn more about the JobTeaser service.
We cooperate with other Finnish JobTeaser universities. On the website of the Aarresaari network, you can familiarise yourself with the Universities' terms and conditions for publication.
Guilds and subject associations also forward recruitment ads to their student members, each in accordance with their own practices. You can inquire about cooperation opportunities directly from the suitable guild or subject organisation.
Tampere University’s internship support
At Tampere University it may be possible for a Finnish company to receive financial support from the university to reimburse the time spent on supervision in the form of an internship voucher (EUR 1,800 / internship). Internship support is granted on a per-student basis but is not paid to the student directly. Instead, the employer bills the amount from the university after the internship.
From the employer, internship support requires that the internship meets the criteria set by the degree programme and the university, for example in terms of the content and remuneration of the internship. The internship voucher is never issued for an unpaid traineeship. The employer must pay the trainee at least the salary entitling him or her to the employment condition determined annually by Kela.
