Hi! My name is Raisamiina Hagström, and I am the Gender Equality Representative at Arcada.
The registration for the academic year of 2025–2026 is open. Finnish legislation requires a mandatory registration for each academic year for all students, or they will lose their study right. The absolute deadline for registering as present or absent is 10 September 2025.
From autumn 2025, Arcada will take the first steps towards transitioning to a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environment, which means that students are expected to bring their own laptop to campus.
During our final session of the spring term, we will take a step back and reflect on how you can establish sustainable routines and structures to help you keep moving forward – even when it feels tough.
The entire fifth floor of the main building will be let from 1 August. The premises will be cleared during the summer, and all teaching will be relocated to other spaces.
The real estate company Arcada Nova is renting the residential building Majstrandsgården to Folkhälsan for a period of two years from 1 August 2026. At the same time, the building will be adapted so that it can also function as an assisted living facility for the elderly. Students living in the building will be offered alternative accommodation.
Each year, Arcada appoints an Alumnus of the Year – an engaged and positive ambassador for our UAS. Members of staff, students and alumni are invited to submit nominations.
