Hello fuksi 2026!
Congratulations on your study place as a master’s or exchange fuksi – and most importantly, welcome to the best guild in Otaniemi, Inkubio!
This page is for international and master’s fuksis. Information for bachelor fuksis can be found here :)
To start off
Download Telegram, and join this Telegram group for master’s and exchange students starting in the autumn of 2026 and spring 2027, where you can freely chat and ask questions about anything. In addition, there is a separate International Captain’s info channel where your captain will post all the important updates so you won’t miss a thing. If you’re a Master’s student in Life Science Technologies, join the LifeTech group to chat with your fellow Master’s students and get information about LifeTech events.
Orientation week and kickstart
Put orientation week (24-28 August) in your calendar, it’s a week full of events and orientation before the official start of school. Also keep Saturday, 15 August, free for the kickstart event, where you’ll get an early taste of the autumn fun and a chance to meet your fellow fuksis and tutors before orientation begins. The kickstart takes place at Alvari Square, next to the Undergraduate Centre (Otakaari 1) in Otaniemi, starting at 14:00.
