Alumni network for graduates of Karelia University of Applied Sciences

Karelia UAS alumni is a network for the graduates of Karelia University of Applied Sciences or any preceding institutes of Karelia UAS. It is the link between our educational institution and working life. Karelia UAS alumni activities aim at encouraging the graduates to continue their interaction with their former university and thus strengthen the collaboration between the staff, graduates and students of Karelia UAS.
