The new academic year is about to begin – welcome on board!

Instructed classes get off to a flying start on Monday 24 August. The full range of ball sports shifts begins on 31 August. As a UniMove member, you’re entitled to sign up for all the events on the calendar. Are you planning to try as many different types of exercise as possible this autumn, or do you already have your own regular weekly session? Please remember that registration is a two-step process: after registering, you must also remember to confirm your registration. Please read the instructions carefully.

Courses and trials will be published on Friday 21 August. These courses and trials give you the chance to try out new forms of exercise or to develop your technique in various sports. Some courses and trials have a separate participation fee. Please note that the programme may be expanded further during the autumn. The best way to stay up to date with upcoming events is to read the newsletters sent to members by email and to follow the news on the homepage of our website or app.

Please remember that, as a member, you can book a court at the Linnanmaa Sports Centre for badminton or pickleball. You also have access to gym shifts and benefits, as well as monthly InBody measurements.

Bookings for physical activity counselling are now open, with slots available from 26 August. If you’d like a buddy to exercise with, you can submit an Sports Buddy application to us.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our services, you can contact us by email at sports@oulu.fi or via the feedback form available on our website and in the app. You can also come and chat to us at events held on campus, and follow us on Instagram and TikTok @unimoveoulu.
