    Aland University of Applied Sciences is located in the town of Mariehamn. It is a small university, which allows for close contact between teachers and students.
    Aland UAS offers degree programs in Swedish in business administration, navigation, hospitality management, engineering (marine, electrical, and IT), and health and caring sciences for a total of 600 students.
    Aland Open University offers around 100 academic courses, lectures, and seminars annually. Close cooperation and interaction with those working in the field and the community are essential.
    The programs offered at Aland University of Applied Sciences provide the theoretical and practical knowledge required to carry out advanced tasks in working life, both independently and in teamwork settings.
    The programs are flexible. Individual study programs can be composed by selecting courses from other programs or the Open University within the optional units. Interaction with those working in the field means that the curriculum is based on today's professional life requirements. UAS' programs also endeavor to supply new competence to the professional community through the development and applied research.
    Aland University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1997 by the Aland Provincial Government as a co-operative network for vocational higher education to award polytechnical diplomas.
    On 1 January 2003, Aland University of Applied Sciences became a permanent institution when it merged with Aland Open University. After the merger, its Swedish name was changed to Högskolan pa Aland.
    Aland University of Applied Sciences offers seven-degree programs in Swedish. The Business Administration Programme provides students with business and management skills focusing on financial control and logistics. Acquiring a degree in Business Administration will prove useful in gaining employment or in succeeding as an entrepreneur. Twenty weeks of practical training are a mandatory part of the program. The degree program lasts 3.5 years and awards an equivalent of 210 ECTS credits.
    The Electro-technical Engineering Programme trains future electro-technical engineers, focusing on electrical and automation systems in a marine environment. The initial foundation courses are in mathematics, physics, languages, and computer programming. More specific professional courses are taught later on, such as electro-technology, automation, control engineering, and computer technology. The ship automation degree also includes courses in mechanical and ship engineering and engine room simulator training. IMO's international STCW standards carry out the program. Practical training is mandatory. The degree program lasts four years and awards the equivalent of 240 ECTS credits.
    The Health and Caring Sciences Programme aims to provide high-quality theoretical and practical nursing competence. It emphasizes a caring, quality-conscious, and professional approach to the practice of nursing. The program leads to a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, which qualifies you to work as a nurse in Finland or within the European Union. Practical training, which makes up one-third of the program, is carried out in various healthcare environments each semester. It provides a deep understanding and a broad overview of the different possibilities that a career in nursing offers. The practical training can be carried out in Aland or a Nordic or European country. The degree program lasts 3.5 years and awards the equivalent of 210 ECTS credits.
    The Hospitality Management Programme educates future tourism and hospitality managers. It focuses on three key areas: high-quality practical and theoretical competence, outstanding service, and the potential for self-development. As part of the program, practical training is carried out in different occupational and preferably international, restaurant, and hotel environments. The degree program lasts 3.5 years and awards the equivalent of 210 ECTS credits.
    The Information Technology Programme provides a solid foundation for a career in a wide range of business areas related to IT. The program is divided into three parallel specializations: software engineering, software engineering and economics, and computer science. The degree program lasts for either 3.5 or four years and awards the equivalent of 210 or 240 ECTS credits, respectively.
    The Marine Engineering degree program specializes in energy and ship engineering. The program focuses on skills in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer technology. However, professional subjects such as ship engines, ship technology, automation, and electronics are also necessary to become a qualified marine engineer. Practical training is mandatory. Students have the opportunity to train in modern, life-sized engine room simulators. The program is based on IMO's international STCW standards. The degree program lasts for four years and awards the equivalent of 270 ECTS credits.
    This program focuses on four main areas: navigation, marine transport and technology, seafaring skills, and management. The program is carried out following IMO's international STCW standards. Practical training is mandatory. Students also have the opportunity to train in modern, life-sized bridge simulators. During the program, students acquire both the practical and theoretical proficiency required of professional seafarers. The degree program lasts 4.5 years and awards the equivalent of 270 ECTS credits.
    The education offered by Aland UAS emphasizes close contact with business, industry, and services, especially at the regional level. The university's degree programs are designed to meet the workplace's changing requirements and development needs, having a pronounced occupational emphasis and qualifying graduates for various expert duties. Aland UAS undertakes research and development activities with an applied and practical emphasis. Each degree program awards 180-270 ECTS credits and takes 3-4.5 years to complete. Each credit is equivalent to 40 hours of work. The university's programs combine theory, practice, and individual experience. Often, at least a one-year internship is included, as is an international exchange.
    The Aland University of Applied Sciences leads or participates in several development projects. Aland UAS has the initiator and driving force in various projects financed by the EU or by the Aland autonomy authorities.
