Welcome to the official website of Adaptus ry, the subject association for nursing science students at the University of Turku!
Founded in 1987, Adaptus ry is a small yet well-established association representing the students of the Department of Nursing Science. Our members include students of health sciences, as well as students of the international master’s program Future Health and Technology, which started in August 2019.
Our goal is to advocate for student rights within the Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Nursing Science. We maintain regular contact with the department staff and take pride in fostering good relations and productive discourse based on mutual respect and appreciation.
In addition to representing students, we organize a wide variety of recreational activities, including the Christening of the Fetuses—a welcome party for new students—and diverse sporting events such as pole dancing and aerial yoga. We also provide opportunities for students to connect with future employers through events like Academic Speed Dating, which helps graduating students meet prospective employers. Additionally, we actively seek collaboration with other student interest groups.
Adaptus has its own student lounge at Medisiina A (Kiinamyllynkatu 10). The space is freely available for students from 7 AM to 5 PM, offering a place to relax, study, or socialize. There is a fridge and a microwave for food preparation, and students can enjoy coffee or tea, sponsored by Adaptus!
During events and parties, you can recognize proud members of Adaptus by their dark green student overalls featuring the Adaptus logo on the back.
Join our cheerful community! <3
