LAB UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES

Welcome!

The world is not complete and perfect, and neither are we – yet.

We at the LAB University of Applied Sciences serve global business

through world-class, practice-oriented higher education and research,

development, and innovation (RDI).

Our strengths at LAB include the circular economy, design, the commercialisation of innovations, and health

care service innovations. We are building our future on three campuses: in Lahti, in Lappeenranta and in

the digital world.

We are a university of applied sciences focusing on innovation, industry and commerce. Everything we do at LAB

generates added value for businesses. We love to solve problems. The trickier the problem, the more we push

ourselves. We’re known for getting things done – and we are proud of it.

If you have a vision, we will do whatever we can to help you achieve it. If you are ready to go to extremes,

so are we. Let’s conquer the world together!
