Tampere University - TUNI
speciality: Politics

I studied at Tampere University for my Master’s Degree and PhD in Administrative Sciences. This university gave me so much opportunity in research and collaboration. I had the best colleagues in my research group. I also enjoyed living in Tampere for almost 6 years together with my family. During my stay at TUNI, I met students and faculty members from different parts of the world and are experts in their fields. TUNI is also involved in Erasmus Mundus Programmes and I am pretty sure that most students who had the chance to stay in Tampere for a semester had memorable experiences in this cold but wonderful city in Finland.

At University of Tampere, I benefit from a faculty that radiates enthusiasm and expertise. With abundant prospects for professional growth and skill refinement, I’m able to combine theoretical knowledge with real-world application, rendering my time here exceptionally rewarding.

Even though I had the cheapest accommodation, it met all my needs. It was a bit chilly in the winter (Finland, of course), but that was due to poor insulation. I guess I was just unlucky since others didn’t have any issues. Aside from that, everything was great. If I needed help, I could just pop downstairs to see my classmates, and we often had student hangouts in the evenings since we lived so close to one another. The proximity to everyone was a major benefit, despite the 20-minute bus ride to school.

It’s all about location, absolutely mind-blowing geography and I felt a lot further from home than I was. It’s a brilliant base for travel. A real change from Europe. Good facilities (computers, internet), professional staff and fairly good organization make it a nice place to study.
