Presenting and Materials of the Oamk
You are Oamk’s main visiting card.
When performing, remember the following:
- Your attitude will solve
- decide to succeed
- talk as if you are discussing
- remember your plans — flex if necessary
- Give listeners space to insight, ask questions
- listen to yourself
- seize the moment
- Get Feedback
- congratulate yourself
Did you know that when you spoke
- the meaning of words is 10 percent
- Voice, facial expression, body language and external essence are 90 per cent
Performing is currently a genuine interaction opportunity — not self-presentation, but you do it in your own persona.
At performance events, it is good to pay attention to your dress, as it is part of communication. There are two ways of presentating Oamk:
- Oamk’s long-sleeved shirt combined with a neat bottom
- Oamk’s long-sleeved shirt and student jumpsuit tied at the waist.
You can request Oamk’s shirt at viestinta@oamk.fi. Indicate in your message your size, time and occasion where you need the shirt. Put the message well in advance, gladly about two weeks before the occasion.
On the Education website, applicants can find current information on the educational opportunities offered by Oamk. In addition, on the site, applicants can find information about applying, selection criteria and admission tests.
On the Student Stories page you can learn about students’ experiences of studying at the University of Applied Sciences and student life.
Oamk’s social media channels inform applicants and other stakeholders about current issues at the University of Applied Sciences. You can find Oamk in social media on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
For this presentation, you should use the Studies in English -guide, which provides all the necessary information in relation to the Oamk, the fields of education and application. There is both a printed and electronic version of the educational offering.
In addition to guides, other brochures can be used at events, such as a general prospectus for student registration, a brochure for foreign-language training programmes or a brochure for the Open UAS.
For example, you may need Oamk presentation slides when you are presenting Oamk at various educational institutions. For the latest versions of Oamk’s presentation slides, you can ask from viestinta@oamk.fi. In the presentation slides you can find general information about Oamk, applying and educational fields.
Oamk also has a lot of video footage, which is worth showing in support of the presentation:
Videos from the second joint search ad campaign in spring 2022 can be shown, for example, at the beginning of a visit to an educational institution to attract the interest of the public.
Videos showcasing educational fields can be found on Oamk’s YouTube channel and on Oamk’s website, starting with education information.
