Founded in 1979, the University of Lapland is the northernmost university in the European Union, located in Rovaniemi just south of the Arctic Circle. Approximately 4,500 students. Distinguished particularly for Arctic studies, indigenous Sámi research, and design (the Faculty of Art and Design is one of Finland's significant design schools). The Arctic Centre at the University is a leading European research institute on Arctic policy, climate, and indigenous peoples.
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
