Notable People and Famous Alumni

All three constituent schools have played an integral part in educating many of the top names in their respective fields in Finland. After the Second World War Finland's economy grew and Finnish companies became players in the international markets requiring highly educated expertise and leadership. Both the schools of technology and economy catered to this need as the premier schools of their fields in the country. During the latter part of the 20th century the schools had to increase their student intake considerably to meet the demands of the burgeoning markets. Meanwhile the school of arts and design has educated many of the household names of art that created what is today known as the distinctive style of Finnish design.
