Greetings from the chairman

Welcome to the most northern business school in Finland!

Awesome! You have gotten a spot to study here at Oulu Business School. While you are here in Finland it is good to make to most out of your time. There are plenty of ways to get to know the students here and our organization Finanssi will make sure it is also easy for you to attend all the events and help you with your daily life in Oulu.

I am the Chairman of the board in Finanssi, one of the biggest guilds at the University of Oulu and currently we have over 1550 members. Finanssi is a part of OYY, the Student Union of the University of Oulu and we organize a whole lot of events and parties. We also take care of your rights as a student. We represent the colour of purple and you might see a lot of our students wearing purple overalls during the first weeks of your semester. Finanssi also provides you the chance to get the true business school student overalls so make sure you join as a support member (exhange students) or as a true member (degree students).

Your exchange semester will start with numerous informative lectures and there will be so much new things in front of you that it is almost impossible to catch all the important information at first. This is why I encourage you to visit our website, social media channels and guild room to get familiar with Finanssi and OBS.

Prepare to have an awesome time here in Oulu and if you see us board members walking down the hallway at the university or somewhere else just tap our shoulder and have a quick chat.

As you can see, Finanssi actively interacts with various actors and partners, including the university management, SEFE, student associations in other business schools and actors in the surrounding business environment. The networking possibilities are therefore wide!

the guild room The guild room (“kiltis”) is the very own living room and hangout place of all Finanssi members. You can find it by walking down the OBS corridor (Kauppakatu) until you reach halfway. Then take the glass door marked with Finanssi’s logo and take the stairs down to the basement. Just follow the logos and no worries, you won’t get lost!

All economics students are warmly welcome to the guild room. You can come and see your friends, read magazines, have coffee or play.

PS. There is always someone from the Board around so you can buy Finanssi products and ask advice.
