Tampere University
Our new community was created at the beginning of 2019, when the University of Tampere (UTA) and Tampere University of Technology (TUT) were merged to establish the new foundation-based Tampere University that will maintain close ties with Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK).
Together we are building a new model for higher education and research in Finland. Our new community has brought together research and education, for example, in the fields of technology, health and society. We are creating a multidisciplinary, inspirational and globally attractive research and learning environment to explore new frontiers in interdisciplinary research.
The guiding principles of our university community are:
- Combining world-class research and innovation activities
- Multidisciplinary learning and lifelong partnerships
- Unique expertise in developing applications that benefit industry, business and the public sector
Tampere University is one of the most multidisciplinary universities in Finland. Almost all internationally recognised fields of study are represented at our university. Our research groups and projects conduct multidisciplinary research across institutional boundaries. The research undertaken at our Centres of Excellences (CoE) ranges from game culture studies to tumour genetics.
