What is a multidisciplinary Innovation Project in Metropolia? 

  • Every undergraduate takes part in a 10 credit point innovation project
  • The subject matters arise from labour market needs
  • Students, lecturers and tutors from various fields of study cooperate with businesses to create new solutions
  • The outcome will not be determined in advance: during the process new solutions will be found for the benefit of businesses and customers
  • Project team work independently most of the time, reporting to tutors and the customers

  • Innovation projects play a significant part in Metropolia’s curriculum and have a central role in the cooperation between students and employers.
  • Up to 1000 innovation projects are carried out every year.
