University of Lapland
Located in the city of Rovaniemi, on the Arctic Circle, the University of Lapland is an international, multidisciplinary university whose areas of expertise include Arctic affairs and tourism research. As a research-based higher education institution, our teaching and research facilities offer students and scholars the opportunity to pursue academic excellence, at all levels – all the way up to PhD studies – in the fields of arctic issues, tourism, art and design, law, education, and the social sciences. Our state of the art research facility, the Arctic Centre, conducts internationally recognized, cutting-edge research on the interactions between people and the environment in the Arctic. Originally established in 1979 to provide higher education opportunities for those living in the far reaches of northern Finland, the university has now become an important educational institution for the entire country. Our graduates occupy numerous positions of responsibility in society and business throughout Finland and the world – this is something we take great pride in. We warmly welcome you to visit our campus at any time and if you are looking for a truly unique educational experience, we invite you to come join our community of nearly 5,000 students and around 600 members, here in Rovaniemi.
