Why student membership?

How can I find work in my field? What skills should I have? Who is on my side if something happens? Could I do my thesis for someone? How much pay should I ask for? What if I am unemployed after graduation? 

Pre-Christmas campaign – recommend Loimu student membership and get a badge!

Do you know a student who isn’t yet a member of Loimu? Now’s the perfect time to recommend Loimu student membership! We’ll reward both the referrer and the new student member with a badge when the new member provides the referrer’s details upon joining. Anyone who is a full-time student pursuing a degree (bachelor or masters) in natural sciences, environmental sciences, or forest sciences is eligible to join as a Loimu student member.

Campaign Period: November 13–27, 2024

Please see the campaign rules below.

Campaign Rules

  • If a new student member joins Loimu based on your recommendation and the following criteria are met, both of you will receive a badge:
    • The referral-based membership must take place between November 13–27, 2024.
    • The referrer must be a member of Loimu.
    • The referrer’s name and email address must be provided in the “Referrer” field of the joining member’s online application form or in the “Additional Information” field on a paper form.
    • The new member must meet the eligibility criteria for Loimu student membership.
    • The new member joins Loimu at the Fresher, Student, or StudentPlus membership level.
    • The joining member has not been a Loimu member within the last six months.
    • The new member may have only one referrer.
    • The same referrer may refer membership to multiple individuals and receive multiple badges.
    • The badges will be sent to both parties in December to the postal address listed in the membership register.

    Loimu reserves the right to make changes to the campaign. Any changes will be announced on this page.

You can upgrade your membership to the Student or Student Plus levels at any time!
