Start a new club or develop an existing one – financial support for student clubs from the 3AMK Club Boost

Published: 03.09.2026

Have you always wanted to start a new hobby club but just needed that final push? Or does your current club need to make a specific purchase? Now you have a great opportunity to create more hobby opportunities at Metropolia or to develop your existing club activities!  

In autumn 2026, the 3AMK collaboration network (Haaga-Helia UAS, Laurea UAS, Metropolia UAS) will provide support for new and already established clubs in the form of small purchases. The purpose of the Club Boost is to create more communities and leisure activities for students in the 3AMK universities of applied sciences. The Club Boost encourages activities that bring together students from different 3AMK institutions and create new encounters across institutional boundaries. To make club activities as accessible as possible, it is important that information about the activities is communicated in multiple languages, both in Finnish and in English.  

Through the Club Boost, clubs can receive support for purchases needed for club activities, such as  

  • Purchases of materials: e.g. a new board game for a board game club  
  • Fees: e.g. a private lesson from a teacher for a dance club  
  • Travel costs: e.g. travel expenses for a nature club to a nature destination  
  • Other purchases: some other purchase or cost related to club activities

Club support applications are processed three times during the autumn semester, as long as there is funding reserved for this purpose still available to be distributed. The first applications will already be processed after the first call ending on 30 September, so it’s a good idea to act soon.

Would you like to hear how you can start your own club, or would you like to meet members of already existing clubs? Are you wondering what kinds of clubs already operate on campus and how you could get involved? You are warmly welcome to take part in the Club Boost event, which will be organised on each campus during the autumn. You can find more information and detailed schedules in the Student' Guide.
