Evo

Unique Forest Campus

The Evo campus offers students high-quality forest studies in Finnish and English, both in the classroom and in the forest.

The Evo campus is a centre for forest education and research with a history dating back to 1862. Its long tradition provides a solid foundation for an education that looks to the future and meets the changing needs of the forestry sector. Our community consists of around 230 students and 20 staff members.

Our main learning environment is the approximately 1,800 hectares of observation forest surrounding the campus, which allows for a natural transition from classroom teaching directly into the field. 

Among other things, the campus has a wonderful lakeside sauna, which is heated by students almost every night. The campus and the educational forest are part of the Evo national hiking area, so nature has a real presence throughout the campus, and a diverse range of hiking trails of different lengths are just around the corner. The nearest services, such as a grocery store, are a few dozen kilometres away.

Forssa

Cotton Mill Vibes

Our Forssa campus is located in an 1850s cotton mill, which has been renovated with respect for cultural history.

The vibrant campus area is close to the city centre and other services. The campus park area, the Loimijoki River and the old red brick buildings combine to create one of the most beautiful campus areas in Finland.

The study facilities are bright and comfortable. The campus offers teaching and independent study facilities of different sizes. Social and health care students have access to a variety of simulation classes, which aim to create the most authentic learning environment possible, for example, in hospital or home care settings.

Forssa is a home campus for around 800 HAMK students and 30 staff members. In addition to HAMK’s campus, the spinning mill area has become a centre for culture and education.
