Are you studying at Tampere University? Excellent, you are therefore very likely to be a member of the Student Union, TREY, and thus eligible for membership services and student benefits! The members of TREY include all students who are studying for a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree at Tampere University, as well as those doctoral and exchange students at Tampere University who have chosen to join the student union. Students become members of TREY by paying the membership fee and registering at the university.
The most important benefit of the membership is the student card and all the discounts it brings. The student card also works as an access card in the university facilities. TREY also provides a variety of services to its members and associations including events, free legal counselling, guidance, trainings and much more. Every student is welcomed to become involved in TREY’s activities. Degree students are entitled to the basic health services provided by Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS), including dental care and mental health. The FSHS fee is paid separately to Kela each year.
TREY promotes the interests of students in the university and at the local level. The advocacy work of the student union includes educational matters, livelihood, housing, social welfare as well as international affairs. The main tasks of the student unions are defined in the Finnish law, and TREY appoints the student representatives to the university administration and faculties.
TREY is a member of SYL, The National Union of University Students in Finland, which leads the advocacy work at the national level.
