As a Metropolia student, METKA is always on your side. It is our job to advocate, help and support in all things concerning student rights. Metropolia UAS is the biggest university of applied sciences in Finland, with around 17 000 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 choose between an academic year membership (sold only in the autumn semester), or either fall or spring semester memberships separately. New students can become members as soon as they have activated Metropolia user IDs, which is usually done during the first day of studies. Pay the membership fee on Kide.app! If you do not already have a Kide.app account, please create one. If you already have an account, you do not need to create a new one to become a METKA member. You can choose to pay by online banking, debit card or MobilePay.

Prices
The prices for membership periods are decided by METKA’s Representative Council. The prices for the academic year are decided at the Spring Assembly before the beginning of the academic year.
- Calendar year 2025: 40 euros (valid 1.1.2025-31.1.2026)
- Spring 2025: 30 euros (valid 1.1. – 30.9.2025)
Please note that your digital student card will stop working as soon as you graduate! The membership fee is non-refundable if the conditions for membership are still met. Unused membership fees can only be refunded if the student is no longer studying at Metropolia, i.e. has either left the UAS or graduated. The fee will not be refunded if a student graduates or leaves UAS in the middle of a semester. We charge a processing fee of five (5) euros for all refunds of membership fees.
