Diak campus
The city campus of Diak provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Helsinki has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students.
Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. The infrastructure of the university includes various opportunities for playing sports: from different spaces to clubs. Foreigners who come to Diak through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
