Annual report 2023

With a focus on the human encounter, the opening of new innovative learning and research environments and increased support services for students, Arcada took on the year 2023. Several important milestones where reached and the year ended with a record number of students graduated.

2022

The year 2022 brought about many changes both at Arcada and in the outside world. A long-awaited return to campus and a new organisational structure meant a new everyday life to adapt to. The fundraising campaign for Arcada's 25th anniversary continued to be successful and already reached halfway to the goal at the end of the year.

2021

2021 will go down in history as both an exciting year and a turbulent year. Arcada 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.

2020

In 2020, Arcada had a record number of graduates – a total of 507 students graduated. This was made possible thanks to the invaluable efforts of our personnel, students and donors.

2019

Contributing to society is the main task and raison d’être of any university – certainly for Arcada! 2019 was a year of vision, of planning what our contribution to society could be and should be, and how to put it into practice.

2018

For Arcada, 2018 was in many ways a year of radical change. A new rector in May, a new organisation in August, a new sports hall and a successful fundraising campaign were some of the important events that will carry the school into the future.
