Business-Oriented and International
The University of Vaasa is a multidisciplinary, business-oriented University offering degrees at all academic levels from Bachelor's to Doctor's. The teaching and research activities focus on business studies, administrative sciences, technology, languages and communication. The modern maritime campus offers a multicultural environment for approximately 5 000 students of which about 11 % are international students.
The University offers five master's programmes fully taught in English and several non-degree programmes in English for exchange students. International mobility of students and teachers is actively promoted by the University and about 30 % of the annual intake of students complete a part of their studies abroad. We also warmly welcome international teaching visits from our partner universities.
The function of the Finnish universities is stipulated in legislation. The Universities Act (558/2009) and the Government Decree on University Degrees, among other decrees, define the objectives, extent and overall structure of degrees. The quality assurance system of the university has passed the audit conducted by the Finnish Higher Education Evaluation Council (FINHEEC).
