Services
Housing services
Students apply for housing themselves. Remember to start applying for housing in time! When applying for housing you should read your e-mail daily in order to be able to confirm the accommodation offer in time. If you fail to confirm the accommodation offer in time, your housing offer will be cancelled. None of these housing options are run by the university – we are only affiliated with them.
Library services
Åbo Akademi University Library is open to the public. You’ll need a library card to use our services.
ICT services
ICT Services (ICT) is responsible for the IT-infrastructure at the University, including user´s accounts, e-mail, work stations, server computers and user support. Some of our software agreements cover the home user´s computer as well.
Medical services

Student Life
Campus life
The university is spread across two main campuses: one in the city of Åbo (‘Turku’ in Finnish) and the other in the city of Vasa (‘Vaasa’ in Finnish). Which campus you study at will depend on your chosen programme, but both campuses are recognised equally on an international level for their contributions to research, as well as their overall excellence in the world of academia.
Student clubs
Student Union Membership is compulsory by law, but the benefits it brings are worth it.In order to be registered as present and have the right to study, receive credits and have your study results registered, you must pay the Student union fee.
