The new academic year of TAMK University of Applied Sciences is about to begin. The lecturers and other staff members have worked hard to have everything prepared. The most exciting development this year is the merger of TAMK and PIRAMK UAS on January 1st. Last Tuesday the staff members of both merging universities gathered to a joint staff meeting, and had a massive get-together party in the evening. New friends and lots of fun.
