First-year Media and Arts students' orientation starts on Tuesday 12th of August 2014 at 10!


It's almost the middle of August. On Tuesday the 12th, all the brand-new first year media and arts students will arrive at our Finlayson campus, where we're still for a few short months. Next year at this time of the year, we will be gathering at the Mediapolis campus in Tohloppi. Things will change a lot in the next six months, for the better, one hopes.
Here is some official information about the orientation that can be found from the TAMK webpages, which are not very intuitively built, which is the reason that the info is here too:
Orientation & checking of original documents

The Media and Arts Orientation Days will take place from Tuesday to Friday 12.-15. August 2014 on Finlayson Campus (address: Finlaysoninkatu 7, 33210 Tampere). 
You can find the preliminary Orientation Days Programme on the new students’ web page. (http://www.tamk.fi/for-new-students ) It will be updated in early August.  
All new students must take part in the Orientation.
Please bring with you to the orientation:
--1 passport photo
--original education certificates
The originals of the education documents (i.e. high school diploma and transcript, vocational training diploma and transcript) will be checked at the beginning of the academic year.  
Your study place is official only after we have approved all your original documents!

One project in focus is project Skábma – Polar Night, originally titled “Kaamos.” A project which began during a game minor module in 2015, has now been developed into a fully-fledged project.
