International collaboration

Arcada builds Nordic cooperation for global relevance. The international dimension runs like a common thread through all operations.
Today, we are one of the most international universities of applied sciences in Finland in terms of both the proportion of international students and staff. A telling example is that among our approximately 2,700 students there are over 60 nationalities.
At Arcada the development of the international dimension of our operations is a strategic choice. Only by collaborating and focusing on global issues can we maintain our local relevance. We do this through strategic partnerships within the Nordic region, which promote both research and education. And not least by actively collaborating within international networks. All in an effort to promote our students' opportunities for internationalization, knowledge exchange and to co-create tomorrow's smart solutions.
