Metropolia University of Applied Sciences

Metropolia is a university of applied sciences owned by the municipalities of the Helsinki metropolitan area. We believe that as an institution of higher education, we can influence the success of individuals, society, and all of Finland through education and RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) activities, and create a humane and hopeful future. Guided by our strategy, we respond to changes around us and aim for impact for the benefit of society.

We have defined our vision to be a bold reformer of expertise and a builder of a sustainable future. We can achieve this long-term goal by joining forces with students, staff, partners, and various societal actors.

We operate according to our values: responsibly, solution-oriented, humanely, and with renewing expertise.

We boldly renew expertise by making continuous learning a seamless part of the learner's everyday life. We create new expertise to meet the needs of a changing working life.

In the future, we want Metropolia to be internationally known for its innovative solutions to global challenges and as an influential ecosystem player.
