Student experiences

students at the University of Vaasa

The University of Vaasa is sited at Finland's newest campus area, close to the sea, often referred to as the most beautiful campus in Finland. The campus is an interesting fusion of old and new, a combination of continental and Anglo-Saxon architectures. It is in Vaasa, the sunniest City of Finland. With its 12,000 students, Vaasa is also a lively student city. Moreover, the beautiful Kvarken archipelago surrounding the city is part of UNESCO's World Natural Heritage sites since 2006.

The tight knit international community of more than 5,000 students is one of the main strengths of the university. 9% of the students and 30% of the academic staff are international, ensuring a lively and active campus.
