AATU Appro

AATU Appro is coming again this May!

The Academic Aurajoki Riverboat Captain’s Degree (AATU among friends) returns once more! AATU is a nationwide student event held annually in May, bringing students from all corners of Finland to the city of Turku to enjoy refreshments in the historic riverside setting of the Aurajoki River, celebrating the end of the academic year. This year marks the 30th AATU, and the event will take place on Thursday, May 8th!

The goal of the degree is to enjoy the company of old and new friends while leisurely visiting the riverside restaurants of Aurajoki and collecting achievement stamps on your degree map. At the end of the day, participants who complete the degree are rewarded—according to their demonstrated party spirit—with the world’s only river-worthy academic insignia. After this, the night continues with epic afterparties!

The appro pass and round-trip travel to Turku will cost a maximum of 35€. The price is the same even if you only use one leg of the trip. There are only 50 tickets available, so act fast! The more participants we get, the cheaper the price—so bring your friends too!

We will depart by bus during the day at 10:45 and return at 1:30 AM after the afterparty. The exact schedule will be confirmed later. The afterparty venue is Marilyn/​Vegas.
Those doubling the degree (tuplaajat) must purchase a second appro pass for themselves.

The trip follows the excursion rules and guidelines.
