For new students in specialisation studies in pharmacy

Did you remember to activate your Helsinki university user account? The user account enables you to log in to your University of Helsinki email box and Specialisation studies Moodle area. 

You can activate your user account with instructions of the University of Helsinki Helpdesk website. From the website, you will also find instructions on how to activate a previously used UH user account and how to change a password.

The user account will remain active throughout your Specialisation studies, when you do your annual registration in time and change your password at least once per year.

Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires the use of two or more authentication measures for a service or system to be accessed. In practice, this means additional authentication, for example, with a separate application or by phone when you log in to the University’s services.

Multifactor authentication is already in use in several of the University’s online services and will be extended to all online services in 2025. More information and instructions for authentication can be found on the IT Helpdesk website.

Multifactor Authentication improves information security by making scam attempts more difficult for cybercriminals. The University uses many methods of identification, and identification is also possible without a phone.

All communication regarding your studies is conducted through the helsinki.fi email system. Upon activating your user account, you will be assigned a Firstname.Lastname@helsinki.fi email address automatically. However, you have the option to direct messages from your helsinki.fi email to another address using the University of Helsinki Helpdesk instructions.
