Group up for assignments, swap notes, plan library sessions and message classmates — all inside your actual courses, with verified students only.
Free for students. No spam — just your invite when we open up.
Only .edu.au addresses get in. Every person on tandem is a real, current student at your university — no randoms, no bots, no lurkers from other schools.
Pick your courses from your uni's real catalogue, then post what you're after — a study group, an assignment team, a library meetup, or a notes swap.
Tap a post, grab a spot, and you're in the group chat. Plan the session, split the work, share a photo of the whiteboard — actually get it done.
Semester ends, friendships don't. Add friends, message them directly, and spin up private friend groups that outlive the course.
No global feed, no strangers. Posts belong to classes from your uni's actual catalogue — 2,900+ courses preloaded.
Switch between your classes with one tap — each course has its own feed, its own groups, and its own crew.
No public directory and no discoverable profiles — if someone isn't a verified student at your uni, tandem simply doesn't exist for them.
Date-and-time meetups that clean themselves up when they're done.
Set a date and time when you post. Once the meetup has passed, it tidies itself out of the feed automatically.
Share photos in any chat or post — visible only to the people in it.
Take a photo or pick one from your library. Images are private to the chat or post they're shared in — never public.
Add mates from any group chat, message them directly, and build private friend groups that roll on into next semester.
Zero tolerance for abuse, hosts control their groups, and a content filter runs on every post and message.
Every report is reviewed. Blocking hides you from each other instantly, and group hosts can remove anyone from their own group.
“Uni is easier with people. But between huge lectures and online classes, meeting them is the hard part. tandem makes the first hello automatic.”
— built by a Queensland uni student, for Queensland uni students
Something else on your mind? Email support — a human reads every message.
Current university students with a .edu.au email address. You verify with a one-time code at signup, so every person you meet on tandem is a real student at your uni.
Yes — finding groups, chatting, friends, DMs and photos are all free. That's the whole point.
We're launching with UniSC, UniSQ, UQ, QUT and Griffith, with real course catalogues for each. More unis join as we grow — the waitlist helps us decide where next.
Your data is only visible to verified students at your own university, chats are only readable by their members, and your email is never shown to anyone. You can delete your account (and everything with it) in-app, anytime. Full details in our privacy policy.
We're in closed beta right now. Join the waitlist and you'll get an invite as soon as your uni opens up.
