Educational Leadership Forum joins Eye on TAMK in March 2023
Join us at Eye on TAMK 2023 – Educational Leadership track on 20-24 March 2023 and learn all about Finnish education while building and rebuilding your professional networks in Tampere University of Applied Sciences’ biggest international event.
What does an international university of applied sciences mean?
According to TAMK's strategy, we want to be the most international university of applied sciences. We are increasing our internationality by, for example, increasing our English-language training offering, focusing on international marketing and changing our recruitment principles. These means of internationalisation aim to ensure that TAMK has more international students and staff. For me, the superlative at the heart of TAMK's strategy means ambition of the goal, but also a variety of methods abroad and in Finland.

Business case consulting training - a hidden gem
As my exchange is coming to an end, I am glad that I had the chance to participate in a course, which made me use all the theory from my previous studies and apply it in real business cases. Coming fourth in an International Business Case Competition was a surprising plus for my exchange studies in Tampere University of Applied Sciences.

Together with my colleague, Minna Niemi, we’ve been working since January 2022 in the ESR-funded DigiMESH project which is being carried out by the Turku University of Applied Sciences, the Tampere University of Applied Sciences and International Working Women of Finland. The project seeks to increase the possibilities for immigrants to find work that matches their education by developing digital networking.
