Finland’s coronavirus situation is rapidly deteriorating, and there are also chains of infection among students at universities of applied sciences. This has led to an increase in distance learning and even to the closure of campuses in different parts of Finland.
Anne Söderlund, Professor in Physiotherapy at Mälardalen University, will be Arcada's first affiliated professor. With the appointment, Arcada wants to strengthen its Nordic network and research.
Arcada is increasing the number of seats in the Swedish Bachelor's programmes in the ongoing admission for 2020. Through this, Arcada wants to counteract youth unemployment and the social effects of the ongoing pandemic.

Arcada and Diak universities of applied sciences will start a Finnish-Swedish bilingual nursing programme in the autumn of 2020. The students in the programme carry out half of the studies in Swedish and half in Finnish.
The decision on the state's counter-financing for the UASs’ fundraising has been taken. Arcada, with its total of 6.23 MEUR in donations, tops the list when looking at funds raised in relation to institution size.
