Student Union JAMKO

The Student Union on Jamk University of Applied Sciences JAMKO is the statutory guardian and service provider of Jamk's students. Master’s degree students can also join the student union and receive an official student card.

The membership of the student union offers its members all national and local benefits, diverse leisure opportunities, events and trips, as well as JAMKO's own, low-cost café services. With a valid student card, you get student discounts on even unexpected everyday expenses, such as various services and hobbies, from VR and in bus traffic and restaurants. Members can supplement the benefits of the physical student card with a digital student card through a smartphone.

You become a member electronically through JAMKO's website.

JAMKO membership is the key to all student benefits

By becoming a member of the student union, you will receive an official student card, which proves that you are a student at the University of Applied Sciences. As a member of JAMKO, you get both national and locally negotiated student benefits such as student-priced lunch and other discounts in restaurants, travel benefits on National Railway (VR) and long-distance bus transport. Local benefits include a free gym on the main campus, cheaper events and trips to Lapland and Lofoten organized by the student union, and much more.

You can also activate the plastic student card as a library card in Jamk's libraries.

You can either choose a plastic student card, or use a digital student card via Slide or the Kide.app, which further extend the benefits of membership. You can also use them at the same time to maximize the benefits.

How can I get a student card?

The student card granted by JAMKO is available to degree students who are enrolled as attending students at Jamk UAS and have joined members of JAMKO. Also international exchange students are entitled to the card. Membership is valid for one academic year or semester at a time and can be renewed on a term-by-term basis for as long as your studies continue. The digital card is automatically updated after membership renewal and the plastic card is updated with a membership sticker attached to it.

You become a member electronically via the JAMKO website. You can get help with membership matters at the JAMKO office or at the member service points on all campuses in the autumn.

You can find detailed instructions and membership prices on JAMKO's website.
