Jussi Halttunen, Rector, JAMK University of Applied Sciences

Academic year's opening

"Dear international students and staff members! One of the cornerstones of the current JAMK strategy is the international education. We will work hard to develop our international study programs to be attractive and competitive in the global markets. So far Finland has offered a tuition-free education for all foreign students, which will come to Finland as a degree or exchange student. In the Future this is expected change in the fall 2017 when there will be tuition fees for students coming outside EU/ETA-region. For compensation the universities should develop a system of grants and scholarships for the incoming foreign students."

JAMK has been a very active player in international development programs and export trade of the educational services. During the last few years we have carried on large Hei-ici joint-programs in Vietnam and Nepal and a great twinning project in Egypt. Besides these there has been a growing effort to enlarge the operations to Kazahkstan and China in the field of the nursing education.

With these words I would like to wish you all a successful and prosperous new study year 2015-2016 !

Jussi Halttunen,
rector JAMK University of Applied Sciences

Welcome!

"Dear new students and members of our academic community! The academic year starts in a time of great challenges for the national and municipal economy and in global issues. Wars, conflicts and the poor security situation in Syria, Iraq and many other countries are driving an increasing number of asylum seekers and refugees to risk their lives in order to get to Europe. Based on the latest information, we are preparing to receive up to 15,000 asylum seekers this year. The escalating situation has created fertile ground for an increase in hate speech, discrimination and downright racism. We must reject this kind of development."
