Activate your TUNI-ID (except if you already have tuni-id)
Notice that the activating of your TUNI-ID is possible just before your right to study is beginning.
Register your Tampere Universities community username before the beginning of your studies. When you have registered for attendance and your information has been transferred to TAMK’s student register, you will receive a link to the username registration by email. The message will be sent from the address it-helpdesk [at] tuni.fi. You need electronic banking personal identity codes or mobile ID to use the service. Some services do not work until your study right has begun (eg. enrolment on courses). NB! If the e-mail doesn't arrive, check your junk mail folder. You can also activate your tuni-id in https://salasana.tuni.fi by yourself.

In professional teacher education you can do your studies by your individual study plan. You have to complete your studies during the duration of your study right, which is three years.
To preserve your study right, you have to register for attendance or non-attendance each academic year in Pakki. Also you have to enrol on courses through Pakki.
TUNIMoodle is used as a virtual learning platform on our courses. Other important virtual learning environments are Zoom, Teams and O365 cloud services. At the student´s desktop Pakki you can enroll for the following Adademic year and enroll in the course implementations.
Give feedback Student feedback forms an important part of Tampere University of Applied Sciences' quality management, assessment and feedback system. Feedback is used for development of TAMK’s teaching, courses, education and related services. Course feedback is collected on every course implementation. You can find the feedback link in Pakki. Another ways to give feedback on teacher education are feedback discussions every year and the career monitoring survey, which is sent to students who have graduated about two years earlier.
TAMK awards you a Finnish and English certificate on completed professional teacher education, special needs teacher education and guidance counsellor education. You also receive a Certificate Supplement for international use. Apply for graduation in time, a minimum of 3 weeks before the intended graduation day. You can find the days at Graduation schedules.
Supervison of students
The teacher tutor supports you throughout different phases of your studies. The student counsellor guides you with decision-making, career planning, credit transfer and your individual study planning (ISP). The teachers are in charge of information related to course completion. You can get transcripts of records, degree certificates and study certificates from Service Point.
