Information about Turku
Accommodation
Novia UAS does not offer student accommodation. Students are expected to make their own living arrangements before their arrival. It is important that you apply for student housing as soon as you receive your decision on student admission to ensure you have a place to stay when the studies commence. Turku Student Village Foundation (TYS) offers affordable housing for students around the city of Turku. Fill in a housing application on the TYS website. The apartments for degree students are unfurnished and students are expected to bring their own furniture. There are some furnished apartments reserved for exchange students so if you are moving from abroad you can mention in the application that you would prefer a furnished apartment if possible.
The private housing market can also offer good accommodation alternatives and you can search for apartments online. Please note that on the private market you normally sign a rental agreement for a year. The rental agreements with TYS are valid until further notice giving you more freedom to terminate the contract if you find more suitable accommodation later.
More helpful hints and information for new students can be found under the heading Student Life.
The Study in Turku website offers information about student life in Turku.
The Study in Turku fair will be held on 26 August and introduces new students to the services and hobby opportunities of the City of Turku.
