Welcome to join the VAMK alumni network!
The word alumni comes from the Latin word for “foster child”. Vaasa University of Applied Sciences is proud of its alumni. That is why we encourage those who have studied and worked with us to participate in our alumni activities. VAMK alumni can go to the world with their head held high. However, the growth continues throughout life, and we want to be with you on that path!
Anyone who has studied or worked at VAMK or former institutions is a VAMK alumni. By joining the alumni network, you can find out about our further and continuing education and participate in alumni meetings. The meetings are also a great networking opportunity, so you might just meet someone relevant to your career through alumni activities.
