Student Well-being services at TUUDO!

The student well-being services are now included in the TUUDO application in English and Finnish.

TUUDO is a non-mandatory, mobile application that supports you in your studies. You can register in TUUDO with your UEF username and password. TUUDO compiles your most often used, study-related services into a portable user interface.

In the new WELL-BEING menu, you can find information not only about health and well-being services for UEF students but also content for all students in Finland produced by Nyyti ry, a national organization for the promotion of students’ mental health and ability to study. The content of the new section is, in practice, equivalent to the pages “Student life and well-being” and “Providers of Help” in KAMU. Now you can access this information easily thorough your mobile phone whenever you need it.

It is also possible to give feedback through the well-being menu.
