Hello! I am Anh Tran from Vietnam, studying International Business, majoring in Logistics. At Arcada I have met amazing teachers who have years of work experience. I have had a chance to live in the most dynamic city in Finland and I have got to join big events and organisations, in my case AIESEC. At Arcada the opinions of the students are always considered. Last but not least, we are a small-scale university and everyone knows each other – here you will not feel lonely for a second! I am happy to help you out and answer your questions about studying at Arcada, so please do not hesitate to send me an email.
Materials Processing Technology (predecessor to Mechanical and Sustainability Engineering)
matagarj@arcada.fi
Hello! Jordi here, a fourth-year student of Materials Processing Technology at Arcada. I came from Spain to Finland in 2017 thanks to the opportunity both the university and the city of Helsinki provided me, and I could not be happier nor prouder to be part of the Arcada family. Leaving behind family and friends is never easy, but in here you will never lack opportunities to feel welcome and part of something not only bigger but meaningful for your future. Please, feel free to send any questions and/or doubts! I am looking forward to address them and help you as much as needed.
