What is LYY?

LYY is a student union that takes care of the students’ rights and interests. LYY makes sure that the students’ voice is heard everywhere at the university and in the surrounding society.  LYY has its representation in the administration of the university, and through cooperation with the National Union of University Students in Finland LYY also represents students in both the local and the national level of decision-making.

The student union arranges a variety of events and activities, offers services and negotiates student discounts for its members.  For the degree students, the membership of LYY is mandatory but the exchange students have the possibility to choose whether they want to become members of LYY or not. Being a member you can get really good discounts for example from University restaurants and transportation. More about the current topic with LYY you can find on Facebook (mainly in Finnish).
