Become a member

A person must study in the degree program of Education and Adult Education, the Master’s Degree Programme in Guidance, or the Master’s Degree Programme in Educational Sciences (EDUMA) at the University of Jyväskylä in order to join Emile ry. They also must accept the purpose of the association and pledge to follow its rules. Exchange students cannot become members but they are allowed to participate in the events of Emile ry even when the event is for members only.

Membership is valid for eight years (2920 days), after which membership automatically ends. If the studies continue in the degree program of Education and Adult Education, the membership can be renewed.

As a member, you will receive student overalls and Emile products at a discounted price, as well as other changing benefits from the association’s partners. In addition, you get event tickets at the membership price and you can participate in Emile’s own events. As a member, you can join the Facebook group of Emile ry’s members, you have the right to vote and you can run for the association’s board if you wish. Membership in the association also includes membership in the Finnish Association of Educational Sciences Students. You can read more about Emile ry’s membership benefits here.

Our membership register has been transferred in March 2021 to KideApp, through which membership also takes place. By paying a one-time membership fee of 12 euros and filling in Emile ry’s membership information form, you will receive a digital membership card in KideApp’s wallet. If you wish, you can also get a carrot sticker to be glued to the student card by contacting the government’s finance manager. The digital membership card and carrot sticker serve equally as proof of membership.
