Tampereen TietoTeekkarikilta ry or TiTe is the Guild of Information Technology at Tampere University - an organisation which supports the interests of all IT students at the university and organises events and services for its members. Any member of the student union (TREY) can join the guild, regardless of their study programme.
TiTe was founded in 1991 by members of Tampereen TietoTeekkarit, a club for students of the then brand new Information Technology study programme. Our guild's colour, black, was inherited from that club and we display it proudly on our overalls. Nowadays, we are one of the largest guilds at the Hervanta campus with about 500 members.
You can join the guild as a member by paing the 5€ membership fee and filling the form at tite.fi/liity. You can pay by cash at the guild when a board member is present. As a member, you can go to our events, use the guild’s services and for example vote at the general meetings! To join the guild activities, attend events and hang out at the guild room. You can also apply to the board or committees in the beginning of the year.
TiTe communicates about it’s events and activities on the Telegram announcement channel as well as on this website. Following our Instagram is also recommended. All members will be added to our Jäsenet-mailing list. Fuksis (Fury) and alumnis (Alumnit - join TiTTu first) also have their own lists. Members are added automatically, but if you have problems contact atk@tietoteekkarikilta.fi
To participate in unofficial discussion you can join the channel #tite on IRCnet. Rules for the channel exist but are currently only in Finnish. In short: set your real name in your IRC client, do not post away messages to the channel and use /lastlog before pasting a more or less funny URL to check that it has not been posted recently.
TiTe has its own guild room in the basement of Tietotalo in Hervanta campus. You can enter from inside behind the Tietotalo info or from outside between Tietotalo and Sähkötalo - you can get access to the door from Tietotalo info. The door in the guild room can not be used. The guild room is mostly open 24/7, any exceptions will be announced on the Telegram channel.
At the guild room, we have a computer, a PlayStation 5, and a Nintendo Switch that are free for all to use. In the fridge and the cabin next to it we have snacks and energy drinks for sale for members. As a members you are also free to brew and drink as much coffee as you like!
When board members are present, you can buy TiTe products such as overall patches and belts. Board members are present at least during sales service, check the times on the sales service website.
As the guild of information technology students, TiTe also seeks to help its members in their studies. We sell school supplies, IT study books and other miscellaneous items at the guild room.
The guild also works closely with the Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering to provide its members with information about different study choices at the university. If you have suggestions to improve the guild's services in this field, please contact the board members responsible for studies either via this form or by using the contact details given in the board section further down on this page.
You can peruse the guild's exam archive in digital form at tite.cs.tut.fi/tenttiarkisto (the page itself is only in Finnish but exams can also be found in English).
You can submit more exams either to the physical red box at the guild room or digitally to kopo at tietoteekkarikilta.fi (better return box coming soon ™)
Do you need peer support when studying? You can come ask for advice, study together, or just enjoy the learning atmosphere. Our encouraging instructors will be present throughout the study group sessions, and you can ask them (or other study group attendees) for help with exercises or topics you're having trouble with. Please remember that our voluntary study group instructors do not replace course teaching assistants, so in more challenging cases, don't forget to use course resources.
When course deadlines are coming up, there will also be "project nights" where you can work on course projects together. More information about these later!
Where: In turn at TiTe guild room and Luuppi’s space, check the events page for more information
When: Tuesdays at 16-19
Our members are encouraged to contact the information technology study counsellor if they have any problems or questions relating to their studies at TAU. The study counsellor is also a student at TAU who works part-time to help other students with their studies.
