International Activities
Internationalisation of the innovation environment is a major challenge for the development of the metropolitan area. International cooperation will be used to improve Laurea’s competence and complement its areas of expertise. This implies participation in international research projects. An international Laurea will enrich its area of operation with international top-level expertise and promote the region’s internationalisation.
Internationality at Laurea consists of international elements in all areas of studies at Laurea, Bachelor and Master degree programmes conducted in English, student and staff mobility and international research and development activities.
