Benefits of student card

The student card is an official proof of your student status. With student card, you can utilize many valuable national and local benefits.

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
