Tampere University of Technology (TUT) ((フィンランド語:Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto (TTY))) is Finland's second-largest university in engineering sciences. The university is located in Hervanta, a suburb of Tampere. The university's statutory duty is to pursue research and give the highest education in its field. The research, conducted by some 1,800 staff and faculty members, mostly focuses on applied science and often has close ties to many different companies (such as Nokia). Located next to the university campus is a Technology Centre Hermia, including a large Nokia research facility. The yearly budget of the university is some 147 million euros. TUT is one of the only two Finnish universities which operate as foundation. Close to 50% of its budget is external funding and it.〔https://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/facts-and-figures/index.htm〕 According to Times Higher Education, TUT ranks 11th in the world, and 4th in Europe, for industry collaboration.〔() Times Higher Education.

Retrieved 2008-11-20. 〕 The Technical Institute of Tampere had provided engineers for its industries since 1911,〔(Koskivoimaa. Teollisuuskoulu. ) University of Tampere. Retrieved 2008-11-20. 〕 but all higher technological education in Finland took place in Helsinki University of Technology. In the 1950s, the city of Tampere started actively remedying the situation, first founding a municipal scientific library in 1955. This library later formed the core for the libraries of the TUT and the medical faculty of the University of Tampere〔(Virstanpylväät. ) TTY:n kirjasto. Retrieved 2008-11-20.〕 In 1960, city succeeded in persuading the small private university ''Yhteiskunnallinen korkeakoulu'' to move to Tampere from Helsinki. A few years later, this university changed its name to University of Tampere.〔(Yhteiskunnallinen korkeakoulu. Koskivoimaa. ) University of Tampere. Retrieved 2008-11-20. 〕 The founding of the Tampere University of Technology was one of the steps of the city and the local business life in bringing higher education to the region. The university was founded in 1965 as a branch of Helsinki University of Technology and became an independent university status in 1972. The Student Union of Tampere University of Technology (''Tampereen teknillisen yliopiston ylioppilaskunta, TTYY'') was also established alongside the university. In 2003, the university changed its Finnish name from TTKK (''Tampereen teknillinen korkeakoulu'') to TTY (''Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto'') so that the Finnish name would be closer to the English name and to distinguish itself from polytechnics that are not universities in the meaning of the Humboldtian university ideal or in the meaning of the Finnish law. As a part of the Finnish university reform, Tampere University of Technology chose to become one of the two Finnish universities operating as foundations in the beginning of 2010. The university hopes that compared to the previous form of state agency, the foundation form gives it more operational freedom.〔(TUT Foundation ). TUT. 2009-12-17.
