Join HAMKO’s brand new International Team!

We’re looking for students who want to share ideas, give feedback, and make student life more international, inclusive and fun. No experience needed, just your voice and perspective.

What is the International Team?

HAMKO is launching a new team to strengthen international activities. The team is a space for both Finnish and international students to collaborate, share experiences, and make campus life more inclusive. We want to ensure that every student’s voice is heard.

Being part of the team is flexible: The team operates for one academic year, but you can also join for a shorter time. The team will meet face-to-face about twice a year, and most of the communication and collaboration will happen online.

Participation in the team is voluntary role and unpaid, but it offers valuable experience, community, and skills for your future career.

Who can apply?

All HAMK students are welcome, regardless of nationality, gender, campus or field of study. Your native language does not matter, but please note that the team works in English. We especially hope that students from all HAMK campuses will participate.

What does the team do?

  • Share ideas and feedback on student life
  • Develop and improve international activities in co-operation with student union
  • Plan and create events and initiatives together
  • Connect and collaborate with students across campuses

Why join?

  • By networking, you can build connections that can support your career in Finland.
  • Gain valuable skills for working life: teamwork, communication and event planning.
  • Expand your cultural awareness and global mindset by working with students from diverse backgrounds.
  • Enhance your resume with unique experiences that showcase initiative and impact.
  • Be part of an inclusive community.
  • If you participate actively in the team for a full academic year, you can turn your experience into a portfolio and apply for 2–3 study credits.
