3. UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL TRAININGS OF THE SPRING TERM ARE WAITING FOR YOU
How would it sound to you to visit your former upper secondary school and say hello to your old friends, tell about your new studies and also make a little bit of pocket money?
– Well it sounds good!
Every academic year, Aalto University students tour upper secondary schools, fairs and garrisons to tell about university studies to potential future freshmen and for this purpose we need plenty of energetic informers. The upper secondary school informer trainings will be arranged in Otaniemi on Fri, 10 Feb, 8am-12noon and 12noon-4pm (one of the four-hour trainings is enough!).
The training will cover Aalto’s admission procedures, application periods and a few special cases of student admission, as well as performance. Please note that only those who complete the training can receive salary + travel expenses for the info sessions.
Please sign up by 6 Feb at https://www.webropolsurveys.com/S/4083682A6191C535.par (in Finnish).
For further information, please contact Hilla Pohjalainen at Aalto University Admission Services, firstname.lastname@aalto.fi.
4. WELCOME TO THE BEGINNER’S SCUBA DIVING COURSE AND SCUBA DIVING EXPERIMENT 2012 OF PKS KUPLA
The info lecture of the spring course will be arranged at 5pm on Tuesday, 7 Feb 2012 at Civil and Environmental Engineering Building at the address Rakentajanaukio 4 A. The info lecture will last approximately two hours. The lecture will cover the course content, schedule and the conditions for participation in the course and you can also sign up for the course. In addition, you will also get information on Kupla activities.
The lectures and pool exercises will be mainly arranged on Tuesday evenings in the spring and the course will end in the open water camp in May. The price of the course in 2012 is €390. The reduced student price of €360 is offered for students with a valid university student card.
We will also arrange a scuba diving experiment in connection with the course on Tue, 7 Feb. The event provides basic information about the diving hobby and you can try out scuba diving in the pool led by an experienced trainer. After the experiment, you still have the opportunity to sign up for the spring course.
Participation in the scuba diving experiment does not require you to participate in the course. You must register in advance for the scuba diving experiment as there is a limited number of participants. If you want to participate in the scuba diving beginner’s course but not for the intro diving, you do not have to sign up – just come to the introduction class.
The course website is open at: http://kupla.kyla.fi/tiki-index.php?page=LSPK+2012 (in Finnish).
Further information on the scuba diving experiment and registrations at: http://kupla.kyla.fi/tiki-index.php?page=INTRO+2012 (in Finnish). Please note that the course and the scuba diving experiment will be held only in Finnish.
