Welcome to Lappeenranta!

And especially welcome to the field of computational engineering and our guild, Lateksii ry! This page will be updated with information directed at new students.

Traditionally, a shared WhatsApp group is formed for freshers, tutors, the study advisor, and the fresher captain. You will receive an invitation to join this group in the fall when your tutor contacts you. Before that, you can check out our guild's Fresher guide, the "Kaavakokoelma," where you can get a taste of your upcoming fresher year. You can find it here!

Fresher Weeks

Your journey at the university begins with fresher weeks, during which you'll get to know the university, its staff, as well as your fellow students, both in your program and from other fields. During fresher weeks, you'll also get acquainted with the "teekkari" culture through various events. Fresher weeks include both official and unofficial programs for each day, happening at a relatively fast pace. The program includes activities organized by your study program, the university, and LTKY, so schedules can be found from various sources, but the essential details are hopefully gathered below:

Schedule for Fall 2025:

• Orientation program for bachelor's students, organized by the university and study programs, 25.8 - 29.8.
  • Familiarizing yourself with the university, course registrations, user accounts, and other essential matters.
• Orientation program for master's students, organized by the university and study programs.
• LTKY's program - evening activities, events, networking, and student culture.
• A more detailed schedule will be available later in the summer!
