About the University
Kymenlaakso and Mikkeli campuses merged in the beginning of 2017, creating South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences – XAMK. XAMK is an innovative higher education institution driven by the idea of unlimited lifelong learning and study.
XAMK is a pioneer in digital learning and entrepreneurship. The passion to learn is not bound to time, place or method – it is a way of looking at the world. We promote well-being and sustainable development through global networking and by creating new digital solutions. One of the goals is to be the largest Finnish university of applied sciences in terms of RDI activities, as well as education provided through the Open University of Applied Sciences.
