HYY’s Organisations

Organisational activities that are open to everyone accumulate practical experiences and bring together like-minded people. Whether you are interested in subject or faculty organisations, student nations, politics, music, sports or culture, there is something for you among our organisations. And if you cannot find a suitable organisation, you can always establish one yourself!

Subject and faculty organisations

Subject and faculty organisations

In the University of Helsinki there are eleven faculties and each of them has several organisations that connect students studying the same subjects. Many faculties also have faculty organisations connecting the subject oraganisations. There are also many multidisciplinary organisations.

Nations

Nations

Student nations are interdisciplinary associations of the students of different ages and different fields, where members are usually connected by their ties to the same geographical area. Any student union member can join a student nation, regardless of their study field, lifesyle and political preferences. Often a student joins a student nation based on a municipality, student housing, hobby, or friendship or family relations. Student nations are the oldest student organisations in Finland. Of the 15 student nations of the University of Helsinki, 4 are Swedish-speaking.
