Interests
Matlu Study Committee
The Matlu Study Committee is a collaborative organ founded in early 2019. The primary goal of the Study Committee is to promote students’ interests and improve information flow across degree programmes and student organisations at the Kumpula Campus. The Study Committee meetings are open to any students in Kumpula who are interested in promoting students’ interests.
Study Committee meetings are usually held on Kumpula campus in the student room A118 in Exactum. Find out more about meetings here.
Matlu International Committee
The Matlu International Committee was founded in late 2019 to promote internationalization at Kumpula campus. The primary goal of the International Committee is to organise fun cross-disciplinary events that are accessible to international students. The Committee is also tasked with promoting the interests’ of international students and supporting international tutors in their work.
The Matlu International Committee works entirely in English, and anyone interested in international affairs and events is welcome to join! The Committee meets once a month, and meetings are open to all Kumpula students. If you have questions about the International Committee, our international representative will be happy to answer them! You can reach them by emailing international@matlu.fi.
Student Representatives in the Faculty
Finnish university democracy affords excellent opportunities for empowering students at the university. Students are represented in every part of decision-making: in degree programme steering groups, faculties, and university government. Student representatives make sure that students’ interests are taken care of when decisions are made that influence students. They bring students’ opinions to light in meetings, promote and defend things that are important to students, and help shape the university for students. Student representatives are happy to answer any questions you may have about promotion of your interests. Don’t hesitate to contact them if you encounter injustices or problems at the university!
