Good Governance and Quality

We act in accordance with the principles of good governance. Good governance and management are based on the proficiency of the directors, a strong set of ethical values, and appreciative interaction. Good governance and management are particularly challenging in these rapidly changing times. In order to create a sustainable future, management simultaneously promotes the renewal, productivity, quality, and wellbeing of the university community. We treat all members of our diverse community fairly. We make decisions in a justified, transparent, and dialogic manner.

The organization of Metropolia's activities and administration are governed by its Rules of Procedure and other internal regulations in accordance with the Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences Act (932/2014). The Rules of Procedure determine Metropolia’s strategy and quality work, organizational structure, and its various operators and bodies. The degree regulations define the principles governing the objectives, structure, and organization of studies (including the guidance and evaluation of studies).

Metropolia's quality management system functions as a tool for sustained development, ensuring that our activities are appropriate and cost-effective in accordance with the sustainable development model (Plan, Do, Check, Act). Evaluation, development of activities, and reorganization are based on a communal dialog. At Metropolia, each employee is responsible for quality management as it pertains to their duties.
