Mailing Lists

There are five different mailing lists that function fully in English. The two lists of the student union are the tyy-exchangestudents list for exchange students and the tyy-degreestudents list for international degree students. The lists from ESN and ISTU are mailing lists from TYY's sub-organisations. We strongly recommend you to join the mailing lists, because that is where all the information is distributed. If you are unsure which lists you should join, contact tyy-kvsihteeri@utu.fi.

1. TYY mailing list for exchange students

Tyy-exchangestudents is a list for all the exchange students who study at the University of Turku. Through this list, the student union keeps you up to date on current issues that concern students, informs you about things that go in the student union and in Finland in general and also distributes information about for example the starting package, job offers or internships, language centre, sports oportunities. Since most other mailing lists operate in Finnish, this is the best list to get information that is relevant to students in English.

2. TYY mailing list for degree students

Tyy-degreestudents is a list for international degree students who study at the University of Turku. Through this list, the student union keeps you up to date on current issues that concern students, informs you about things that go in the student union and in Finland in general and also distributes things such as information about job offers or internships. The University of Turku also uses this list to inform students about current things, scholarships possibilities and other. Since most other mailing lists operate in Finnish, this is the best list to get information that is relevant to students in English.

3. ESN Uni Turku mailing list

The list of the Erasmus student network informs about events that ESN organises and about other current affairs and events and is mainly for exchange students, but both the list, as well as the events ESN organises, are open to all interested students. To join the list, go to https://lists.utu.fi/mailman/listinfo/esnuniturku

4. The ISTU mailing list for degree students

While the events ESN organises are mainly focused on exchange students, there is also an oragnisation for international degree students. International Students of Turku Universities - ISTU ry is intended primarily for international degree students at the University of Turku, Åbo Akademi, and Turku School of Economics. ISTU provides opportunities for both master's and doctoral degree students to meet each other and enjoy social activities, and hopes to raise the profile of international degree students at all levels of the university and student union. ISTU holds regularly scheduled pub nights, and is a venue for participants to organize other activities with their fellow international degree students. Past events have included a theater excursion to Helsinki, a soccer match, a May Day picnic, a welcome evening for new arriving degree students and a cruise to Stockholm. To stay up to date with current events and in touch with other international degree students in Turku by signing up for the istu-mailing list under https://lists.utu.fi/mailman/listinfo/istu
