METKA is always on Metropolia’s students’ side. We are here to help and support you whenever you need it. You can ask us for advice on your rights and obligations as a student at any time.
Metropolia UAS is the biggest university of applied sciences in Finland, with over 18 000 students. To be able to be and advocate everywhere it is needed, METKA sells memberships to fund the daily work. By joining METKA, you will directly support the important work that the student parliament, board, student representatives and all other student advocates are doing for the whole community. Thank you for making our work possible. Read more about the membership benefits here.
How do I become a member?
Before paying the membership fee, check that you meet these conditions:
- you have a study right in the Metropolia UAS
- you are a degree student (this includes exchange students) or completing the full first year of studies in the Open UAS
- you have registered as an attending student.
You can join as a member for a semester, an academic year, or even for the entire duration of your studies! New students can join METKA as members from the date on which their right to study is registered as starting.
You can join as a member on Kide.app. If you do not yet have a Kide.app account, create one. If you already have an account, you do not need to create a new one for METKA membership. You can choose to pay by online banking, payment card, or MobilePay.
