Regional higher education centres

The higher education sector is supplemented by university centres in areas which have no university of their own. A university centre is a networked university combining the provision of several, often regional higher education institutions. The partners forming the centre are often universities and polytechnics, but may also include local authorities and the regional council.

Virtual polytechnic

The Finnish Virtual Polytechnic is a network of all the polytechnics in Finland, which develops, produces and offers education for flexible studies using modern ICT.
