Welcome to Kuopio!
Kuopio is a vibrant, growing, and dynamic city with a population of around 120,000 in the North Savo region, situated in a prominent location at the heart of Finland. The city's landscape and mental image are strongly dominated by the Puijo Tower with its outdoor areas, the town square, the Hanna Partanen bakery, and the shimmering Kallavesi lake that surrounds the city. Not to mention the lively and visible student community. Kuopio offers its residents a green, lively, and excellent-quality place to live, with unparalleled opportunities for hobbies and education. How does a city sound where, near the city center, you'll find a ski slope, a nine-day wine festival, and a water system that leads all the way to the Gulf of Finland?
Business studies are primarily taught in the Canthia, Snellmania, Tietoteknia, and Technopolis buildings. The heart of Preemiolainen spirit, the Preemio office, is located in the lower floor of Canthia (Cantsu), where it's worth stopping by for a coffee and to hang out with fellow Preemio members.
To make getting to know Kuopio, Preemio, and the university easy and fun, we’ve put together the essential ABCs for you.
