In addition the UAS gives education in degree programmes aiming at a Master’s degree in the fields of business administration, technology and engineering and health care and social services.

The Kemi-Tornio UAS co-operates with higher education institutions in Europe, Asia and North America and provides education also for the incoming exchange students of its partner institutions. Information on international mobility can be found in the section Internationalisation.

Students of the Kemi-Tornio UAS get both theoretical knowledge and practical training to carry a successful career after their studies. It is possible for them to choose courses from all units and programmes within the UAS and from other institutions of higher education in Finland and abroad and that way to carry out their individual study plans.

The Kemi-Tornio UAS uses several teaching and learning methods in studies, for example lectures, practical work, teamwork, seminars, workshops and independent study. Additionally, different kinds of eLearning solutions are used and some courses are provided with the help of web-based learning environments.

In Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences every graduate will be issued a Diploma Supplement (DS), which provides a standardised description of the nature, level, context, content and status of the studies completed by its holder. See further information on the Diploma Supplement.
