In the page below you can find a list of our alumni activities that are open to current students. Some of our activities are only available to students at certain degree levels i.e. bachelors, masters, PhD or exchange students.
Each faculty may also organise their own alumni activities which are open to current students. You can find more information about these at the bottom of this page and on each faculty's alumni webpage.
Remember, if you have graduated from a bachelor’s degree at the university, you can already join the university’s free Helsinki Alumni community, even if you are still studying your Master’s degree!
In the University of Helsinki Group Mentoring Programme, an alumni mentor works with an interdisciplinary group of 2–4 students (actors) for about 5 months. In addition to the support provided by the mentor, the actors receive peer support from each other.
Group mentoring begins with a joint Kick-off event for all groups where both mentors and actors receive information and support for launching group activities. Group members meet each other for the first time in this event and, during the evening, each group decides on its own meeting schedule. The groups should meet roughly once a month during the program.
The programme is open to Students at all degree levels, including doctoral researchers. Recent graduates of the university (graduated in the last 12 months) can also take part.
Students can apply to join the programme in October-November. Students and mentors are paired together in December. The programme officially begins in January and runs until May.
The HelsinkiUNI International Talent Programme (UNITalent) is a three month long programme which brings together a group of international students and doctoral researchers with a Finnish company or organisation.
Over the course of the programme, the company provides the students information about their organisation and industry. The company also learns about the skills of international students at the university and reflects on their own level of internationalisation.
The programme is open to international students at all degree levels, including doctoral researchers.
Companies and organisations register for the programme in October. Students can apply to join the programme in October-November. The company selects their group of students in December. The programme officially begins in the following February and finished in May.

Coach Café evenings allow students and alumni to meet in a relaxed setting for a few hours. The events are organised on an ad-hoc basis when we receive an offer from an alumni to organise a talk.
Depending on the speakers, participants and themes, the evening sessions can take the form of small-group discussions or a more informal exchange of experiences and views over a cup of coffee.
The events are open to students at all degree levels, including doctoral researchers. Recent graduates are also welcome to take part.
