Payments with regard to Studies at the University of Tampere

Student Union membership fee

The Student Union membership fee is compulsory for following students who register as “present” at the University:

• lower university degree (Bachelor)
• higher university degree (Master)
• exchange and visiting students

For the academic year 2012-2013 the amount is 97 Euros. For postgraduates the fee is 48 Euros, but for them it is not compulsory since Student Union membership is likewise not compulsory. Other students do not pay the Student Union membership fee (for more information see who belong to the Student Union).

The Student Union membership fee must ALWAYS be paid using the personal reference number!  This reference number (viitenumero) will be seen on the payment slip sent to your home in May, and if it is lost the information will also be found in NettiOpsu under "Enrolment to the University". You can also find out your reference number by calling the Registrar’s Office (050 318 7000) or writing to the address aktuaari@uta.fi.

Further information about making payments and enrolment will be found in the University instructions for enrolment.  There will be more information on voluntary payments in the payment slips sent to your home in May-June.

Fee for restoration of lost study rights

Student who lose their right to study (e.g. by not enrolling either “present” or “absent” within the enrolment period must apply in writing for these rights to be restored. Those students receiving a positive response will be required to pay a re-registration fee of 35 euros (Government Decree No. 1082/2009, 4 §) See also further information on regaining the right to study.

Fees for separate studies taken

The fee for separate studies is to be paid by non-degree students and continuation students. Study fee is 10 euros/credit.

The fee only comes once: even if the studies last for several academic years, not further tuition fee will be charged. The receipt of tuition fees paid must be presented on registration. Such fees are non-returnable.

JOO students are not required to pay fees. See inter-university studies in minor subjects. The legal basis for charging tuition fees for separate studies is the Government Decree No. 1082/2009.

Prices for printouts of studies taken

Official transcripts and certified copies of degree certificates are free of charge.
