  • Why Arcada?

At the same time you will gain knowledge that is relevant and sought after in the labour market - both today and in the future.

Where theory and practice meet

To read is important. Doing is equally important. Therefore you as a student spend an large part of your studies in the field and in our realistic lab and simulation environments. By converting you theoretical knowledge into practical skills you can become the expert of tomorrow. All our our lecturers have extensive practical experience in addition to their theoretical expertise.

Close contact with working life

Imagine your period of study where you will receive both valuable knowledge and skills - at the same time as you can add interesting projects to your CV. As an Arcada student, you will, from year one, roll up your sleeves and work together with leading businesses and organisations.

In step with the growth of your knowledge and skills, you will take on more and more challenging projects, get invaluable work experience and who knows - may be it is thanks to a project that you make contact with your future employer?
