Tampere University of Applied Sciences Summary
Tampere University of Applied Sciences is a public university of applied sciences in Finland and is part of the Tampere Universities community. Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) is based in Tampere and provides applied higher education in business, engineering, technology, health care, social services, media, arts, music, culture, education and professional development. TAMK is particularly well-suited for students who want to study in a practical way, do project work, internships and have strong links to working life in one of Finland’s most active student cities. Academic model Learning is applied at TAMK. The students are to integrate their classroom knowledge and professional practice with projects, laboratories, workshops, clinical learning, business assignments, creative production, work placements and applied thesis work. TAMK is therefore a good choice for students who prefer career-oriented learning instead of pure theoretical study. The English-taught bachelor's programs include International Business, Software Engineering, Nursing, Environmental Engineering, Media and Arts, Textile and Material Engineering, Entrepreneurship and Team Leadership and other applied fields depending on intake. TAMK offers Master’s level professional degree programmes in international business management, risk management and circular economy, educational leadership, community work, social services, engineering and leadership related fields. TAMK does not have traditional PhD programmes, as the Finnish universities of applied sciences are oriented towards applied higher education at bachelor’s and master’s levels. Students interested in doctoral research can continue to Tampere University or another research university after a relevant master’s degree. Please check the official TAMK / Tampere Universities pages for the precise intake and programme for the tuition fee levels of the English-taught programmes. TAMK is a good choice for students who want practical training in business, engineering, nursing, media, arts and applied professional fields in general.
