On campus your future starts now!
Arcada is much more than just a university of applied sciences - on our campus you can build your future!
The study environment at Arcada is great as it is a unified campus with a UAS, student housing and student union buildings. The campus surroundings are close to the sea and nature, but still has excellent connections to the city centre. The city centre can be reached in 20 minutes by bus or tram, and the metro is not far away either. Right next to the student housing there is a shopping centre with everything needed in everyday life and nearby are excellent areas for leisure activities.

The Arcada Building
We moved into our beautiful and modern Arcada building during the autumn of 2004. It was built for us and our specific needs, as a part of our campus. The building is owned by Fastighets Ab Arcada Nova. On the central indoor squares there is a student cafeteria and open spaces where everyone can meet up. The staff is found in open office landscapes and the study environments and projects engage students, teachers and researchers from various fields – all of this so that we can meet and share ideas with each other.
The Cor-house
The Cor-house is the place for all the students, a second home or a living room. There you will find everything related to the student life under the same roof. It is located a few hundred meters from the Arcada building and many activities are arranged here, such as parties, meetings and poker nights. The building, complete with sauna and meeting rooms, can also be rented it you have something specific in mind.
The house was built especially for students and at the Cor-house you can find the student union ASK, and the student associations; Commedia, HanSe and HoSK. TLK has their premises in one of the buildings nearby.
Student Housing
On campus, right next to the Arcada building, there are more than 600 fresh and modern student apartments. The newest ones opened their doors in spring 2019. Find out more and apply at the Majstranden website. External link
