National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences – SAMOK
We are a nationally active student organisation. We are made up of 22 different student unions, and our common goal is to promote the interests of students at universities of applied sciences. We support and serve student unions so that they are best prepared to represent the interests of students at their own institution.
