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.
After two months of courses online and remote activitites, Arcada gradually starts to re-open campus starting from 14.5. All teaching will continue online throughout the spring semester and staff will continue to work from home in accordance with the government’s recommendation.
Arcada has signed a long-term agreement with the Helsinki EU Office. The office supervises the interests of its members in Brussels, and promotes cooperation in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
Arcada participates in the efforts to limit the the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic by donating and lending out medical equipment. The healthcare professionals among staff are also ready to go on duty.
In order to combat climate change, knowledge about environmental impact is crucial for the new generation of engineers. The understanding of circular economy and skills to calculate carbon footprint are essential.
To alleviate the societal effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic Arcada will, as of 17 April, offer Open Studies courses for free to the unemployed and temporarily laid-off. All courses will be free of charge until the end of 2020.
