Rector's review

Arcada flags

2021 will go down in history as both an exciting year and a turbulent year. Arcada University of Applied Sciences (UAS) began celebrating its 25th anniversary in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic – but refused to be in any way inhibited by it. For the second year in a row Arcada had a record number of graduates, with 534 new alumni.

Arcada 25

Arcada building with logotype

In the mid-1990’s, the university of applied sciences idea took off in earnest and in 1996 Arcada University of Applied Sciences (UAS) was established as a Swedish-language polytechnic. A lot has happened in the 25 years since then. Today, Arcada is an international UAS, offering both education in practical fields and programme destinations with a focus on research, development and innovation.

Nordic cooperation will strengthen Arcada’s global relevance

Nordic flags

Arcada aims to strengthen its role as an international university of applied sciences (UAS) and to gain an even stronger foothold in international research projects. The path leading there is Nordic – Arcada’s collaboration with other higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Nordic countries must be widened and deepened.

New technology supports sustainable development

Student, process- och materialteknik

Arcada’s Energy and Environmental Engineering programme was updated with three new profiles in the autumn of 2021. The education profiles of electrical engineering and renewable energy, digital systems and automation as well as the smart energy system profile represent advanced competence in digitalisation and sustainability.
