University of Oulu - research and innovations from man to technology

Our mission is to work towards internationally high-level academic research, civilization and culture, to strengthen knowledge enhancing human well-being, and ensure the availabilty of highly educated labour and research personnel in our impact area.

University of Oulu is a multidisciplinary, international science institute. Cornerstones of our profile are biosciences and health, information technology, cultural identity and interaction, and environment, natural resources and materials. Developing areas are steel research, mining and mineral field, business and economy, and research-based teacher education.

Our education profile is linked to research profile. We fulfil a regional educational mission together with other higher education institutes. University of Oulu has a specific responsibility for research and education on Sami language and culture.

University of Oulu is a leader in co-operation with business and research institutions, and we have a central responsibility in the regional innovation alliance activities. As general interest is focused more and more on northern areas, the role of Oulu University as a circumpolar, multidisciplinary expert will strengthen.

University of Oulu provides education in the fields of humanities, education, medicine, dentistry and health sciences, natural sciences, economics, and engineering. There are 18 international Master's Programmes, and a university-wide graduate school. At present, 15 000 Bachelor or Master students and 1600 Doctoral students are enrolled with an annual intake of 1800 for basic studies.
