We look out for our members’ interests, organise leisure time activities and provide sports services via SYKETTÄ. We also offer our members a student community that you are more than welcome to join. With ISYY membership, you also gain access to travel and meal discounts and many other benefits.

Benefits of student card

Events, community and sports activities

We spice up your everyday life with different student events and campaigns, and take care of your well-being with SYKETTÄ sports services. We also provide communal activities, such as teams and clubs, which you can join.

Interest advocacy may be worth your while

We look out for your interests so you can focus on studies. We work hard to provide you a good student life. We represent, comment, promote student issues, advise, demand and cooperate - all with students’ interests at heart.
