SAMOK’s advocacy work

Together with student unions, SAMOK’s goal is to extensively oversee the interests of students and high-quality university of applied sciences education. In this section, we explain SAMOK’s advocacy and interest representation work around different themes.

The advocacy section has information on the following topics:

  • Steering and funding of universities of applied sciences
  • Internationality: student mobility and exchange studies, international students in Finland, international and EU engagement work
  • Educational equality
  • Student housing
  • Student wellbeing and study ability and the FSHS
  • Students’ livelihood and benefit systems
  • Students at Risk Finland
  • SAMOK’s meeting register
