The Lapland University Consortium (LUC)
is composed of two higher education institutions in the province of
Lapland: Lapland University of Applied Sciences and the University of
Lapland.
The Lapland University Consortium is a
unique form of strategic alliance in Finland, as it comprises a union
between a university and university of applied sciences. Through this
co-operation, these higher education institutions are able to offer
enhanced quality in expertise and future prospects to benefit students,
personnel, and the surrounding society. The Lapland University
Consortium has been established to ensure the possibility to continue
conducting and offering nationally and internationally high-grade
research, education, and art in some of the northernmost higher
education institutions in Europe.
