Personal recommendation

The exchange students of Tampere University of Technology are mainly French and Spanish, when Italian and German. The majority of the University of Tampere are German. So if you are German speaking and you want have a real international experience go to the TUT, for French and Spanish it is vice versa. In overall Tampere is a good town to live.

“Tampere University of Technology”

Overall

Tampere University of Technology (TUT) is one of the most appreciated technological universities in Finland. TUT does a lot of co-operation with companies and students get to work with these companies and solve real cases during courses. This helps understanding the problems in hand and also creating contacts outside the university. You might also find your future job through one of these case courses. Some courses require more effort than others but that's probably the case in any university.

Tampere is a very good city for students to live. There are three university level schools in Tampere so there are a lot of students and many places that offer student discounts, for example. Also, there is a great student atmosphere in the city with a lot of student events arranged by clubs or universities. You can also live very close to campus with a reasonable rent.

Pros

great atmosphere, appreciated, co-operation with companies, nice city

Cons

heavy workload on some courses, distance to city centre

I had the opportunity to grow up as a student as well as a person. The intercultural exchange is worth it. I learn a lot of things from other cultures. Do not loose an opportunity like this.

Beware those who are afraid of the cold... we had up to -25C for a week... but it is part of the experience! Other than that, just bring some open mentality and everything should be fine!
