Etelä-Pohjalainen Osakunta (EPO), also the South Ostrobothnian Nation, is one of the 15 student nations at the University of Helsinki,[1] Finnish-speaking and established in 1908.

EPO formed the historical Pohjalainen Osakunta, or Österbottniska Nationen (Latin: Natio Ostrobothniensis), together with the Pohjois-Pohjalainen Osakunta (PPO) and the Swedish-speaking Vasa nation. Established in 1643, it was one of the original nations at the Royal Academy of Turku, moving to Helsinki in 1828 with the relocation of the university.[2] EPO still has close ties with the other Ostrobothnian nations.[3]
Together, they share the Ostrobotnia House in central Helsinki near the Parliament House, one of several buildings owned by different student organizations in the city.
