Friends Program 2026-2027

Would you like to get to know more Finnish and international students? Join the Friends Program!

The Friends Program brings together Finnish and international students – it’s all about meeting people, making friends, and enjoying relaxed time with people from different cultures.

We meet once a month for various activities: relaxing, chatting, eating, and having fun together! The program continues throughout the academic year, and you can join at any time. The main language of the program is English, but communicating in other languages is also welcome.

Participation is free of charge. The goal is to create genuine encounters and lasting friendships. Because friendship is valuable – come be a part of building meaningful connections!
