About

Tampere University brings together research and education in technology, health and society. Our collaboration with our partners is built on our strengths, unique combinations of scientific disciplines and applied expertise. Tampere University was formed at the beginning of 2019 when two previously separate universities, Tampere University of Technology and the University of Tampere, merged into one. The University of Tampere was first established in 1925 and Tampere University of Technology in 1965. Thus, Tampere University has been educating university students for a century.

Tampere University is the second largest research university in Finland with over 22,000 students. We offer a wide selection of programmes in English at all academic levels. Focus areas in our research and education are technology, health and society. As a student you will receive a world-class education in a unique learning environment. Studies with us provide you with high-quality education and give you excellent opportunities to form a global network of both professional and academic colleagues.

Research at Tampere University focuses especially on topics related to technology, health, and society. Numerous research groups and networks operate in our community conducting multidisciplinary and diverse studies across organizational boundaries.
