Thank you for your interest in studying at HAMK University of Applied Sciences in the southern part of Finland. Here at HAMK, we offer not only world-class education, but also modern learning facilities and methods. HAMK, with its seven campuses, is a state-recognised higher education institution with approximately 8000 students from 57 countries. HAMK has formed a strategic alliance with Lahti and Laurea Universities of Applied Sciences, which allows our students to choose from a wider range of on-line or summer courses.

We take students’ well-being seriously, and we want our international students to experience that as well. Student well-being, in addition to the issues regarding our academic environment, includes such areas as social integration, employment prospects and professional development during and after studies, study guidance services and comfortable housing conditions. Our goal is to ensure that all aspects of an international student’s life are taken care of, and we believe that a balanced everyday life provides the best framework for them to become outstanding global citizens and experts in their professional fields.

The welcome information is designed to support students’ living and studying in Finland and at HAMK campus locations.
