Regional higher education activities

TAMK operates in several parts of the Tampere Region, providing degree education and continuous learning opportunities based on regional competence needs. We work closely with local businesses and employers.

Regional higher education activities are based on a contractual cooperation model. The model enables cooperation in education, research, development and innovation (RDI), and paid services based on regional needs.

TAMK carries out higher education activities across Tampere Region. The areas covered are Virrat–Ruovesi, Ikaalinen–Parkano–Hämeenkyrö–Kihniö, Mänttä-Vilppula and Sastamala–Akaa. The cooperation is based on a joint agreement. In these localities, TAMK provides both degree education and continuous learning opportunities based on regional competence needs. Education is delivered through a range of study methods and designed to meet identified competence needs. TAMK also works closely with businesses and employers in these areas.

Regional higher education activities are delivered through a team-based model that makes effective use of multidisciplinary expertise. Each cooperation partner and region also has a designated primary contact in the regional higher education team.
