Sports Institute
Tredu is a Sports Institute
When competitive sports are a major part of your life, combining vocational studies with your athletic goals is a smart choice. You will get a profession and improve your opportunities for further studies while while aiming to develop as an athlete.
At Tredu, athletes have the possibility to apply for and get an athlete status, which enables the flexible combination of studies and sports. The athlete study pathway is intended for students who compete at least at the national level (Finnish Championship SM or equivalent).
At Tredu, you can pursue an athlete pathway in all vocational upper secondary qualifications including the programs in English. When applying, it is important for athletes to carefully consider which study option supports the combination of sports and studies best (e.g., the locations of home, training facilities and the study campus).
As an athlete, you may also apply for a double qualification or complete higher education studies alongside your vocational studies. When considering these options, it is important to take into account the overall workload of both sports and studies.
We support Student Athletes
At Tredu, student athletes are supported by our full-time Sports Coordinator, Antti Särösalo, as well as dedicated tutor teachers and guidance counsellors. Our tutors and staff have extensive experience in guiding students who combine sports and studies.
Student support include an individual study plan, everyday guidance, school-organized morning training integrated into the timetable, and a positive, sports-friendly learning environment.
