The metropolitan area's competitiveness and future industry cooperation require constant knowledge renewal and development. We strive to meet the educational approach in various ways by anticipating the needs of the industries. We renew our education and skills related to teaching in cooperation with our multi-sectoral labour market networks, through i.e. innovation projects. The feedback from international students is that they appreciate our student-centered methodology and easily approachable lecturers, and they love to study in Finland.
We emphasize cooperation between different fields of study, degree programmes and professional life. We build and actively utilise national and international networks. Network cooperation serves the objectives of both Metropolia and our partners.
