Sustainable degree programmes, socially conscious research and a climate-smart campus are in focus as Arcada integrates the UN's global goals for sustainable development in all activities.
The opening of the academic year 2021-2022 marked the beginning of Arcada’s 25th anniversary. Minister of education Li Andersson delivered the celebratory speech during the event, that was streamed online this year.
A short film made by students at Arcada is screened at the film festival Love & Anarchy in September. The film Death of a Boy is one of the final productions made at the degree programme in film and media this spring.
Arcada University of Applied Sciences offers a new set of courses to meet society's demand for engineers with knowledge in circular economy and sustainability.
Arcada’s Open Path studies are an excellent opportunity of trying out studying this autumn. Once you have completed the Open Path studies you can become a full degree student without having to pass the entrance examination.
As of autumn 2021, the possibilities for integration in Swedish in the Greater Helsinki area improve, when the People’s academy Borgå folkakademi starts cooperating with Arcada, Prakticum och Arbis.
A concrete result of Arcada's work for sustainability is WWF's Green Office certification, which Arcada was granted as early as 2011. Ten years later, the work for increased eco-efficiency continues with annual follow-up.
