Remember to pay the healthcare fee for students in higher education for the spring term!
FSHS provides general, oral and mental health services. The services are at your disposal in exchange for the healthcare fee for higher education if you are covered by the Finnish social security system. The fee is compulsory for all students registered for attendance (excluding exchange students!). The fee for 2023 is €36.80 per academic term. You must pay the fee on your own initiative.

HYY influences matters and works for a better student life
The Student Union of the University of Helsinki advocates students’ interests. We organise services, benefits and events so that you can focus on the most important part: studying and student life. You can take your own path, assured of the fact that we will be smoothing the road ahead and advising you when needed.
Our voice can be heard at the University, the city and in events. We believe that happy students build a fairer world. For this reason, it is especially important to look after students. That is our job. That is our responsibility.

Our organisation
Our Student Union’s decisions are made by the Representative Council, which consists of 60 students and is elected every two years. The Council appoints HYY’s Board, which has 12 members this year. The Board is supported in its daily activities by HYY’s personnel and several committees.
