Academy Committees and Department Clubs

Academy Committees

Three academy-specific committees (jaosto in Finnish) operate under the University of the Arts Student Union: Academy of Fine Arts committee, Sibelius Academy committee and Theatre Academy committee. Each committee operates as a link between the students of its academy, organises academy-specific events, maintains the student traditions of the academy, and also participates in supervising the interests of its field and its students to the best of its ability.

For additional information on the committees and their activities, please contact the committee chairs:

Department Clubs

Department clubs are student organisations aimed at bringing together students of the same subject or field, promoting their interests and organising activities. In addition to student union activities, you can experience traditional student culture through department clubs, and at the same time you can influence the affairs of your own field of study and department.

Taideyliopistossa ainejärjestöjä toimii tällä hetkellä lähinnä Sibelius-Akatemiassa, jonka ainejärjestöt on esitelty alla. Lisäksi Teatterikorkeakoulussa toimii valo- ja äänisuunnittelun opiskelijoiden yhdistys VÄSy.

Kamus

The purpose of the club is to promote the interests of folk music students and to act as a link between staff and students. The club also promotes the well-being of students by organising jam sessions, parties and other recreational activities and by taking part in artistic conversation within the Academy. The club participates in the teachers’ weekly meetings and reports on the topics discussed to the students.
