As a tutor or kummi students you do important work for the best of the new students - the application to become a tutor or kummi for the academic year 2025-2026 opens 2.1.2025!

Student tutors and kummi students support new degree and exchange students in starting their university studies by introducing them to university studies, the university community, and other students. Tutoring is an important part of a successful start to one's own studies.

All students at UniOulu, who have progressed in their studies and are responsible, motivated, and committed to the role of tutor can apply to become a tutor for degree students or a kummi for exchange students. Student tutors guide the new students of the University of Oulu in small groups of about 10 students at the beginning of the academic year.

Each tutor and kummi is trained for their role and supported throughout the tutoring process, both by the university's counselling services and by their own faculty and degree programme. In addition to support and guidance, tutor and kummi students receive a salary.

The application period to become a tutor or kummi opens on January 2, 2025. More information about the application and the application form, once the application starts, can be found on the university's website. The information on the website will be updated during December.

Welcome to join us as a tutor or kummi student!
