education, research and development. We have a special position in the field of higher education: we are
simultaneously a university of applied sciences and a police unit. We operate under the Ministry of the Interior.
All new police officers graduate from the Polamk in Tampere. We are also responsible for further and continuing
education for the police. Additionally, we offer education to other groups, such as stakeholders and the private
security sector. We organize education in both Finnish and Swedish, and some courses are also taught in English.
Polamk is Finlands only higher education institution specializing in police research. We engage in applied research
and development, which serves the planning and development of policing and internal security. The research we
produce is also used in police education. More than 30 full-time experts are employed in research and development
related positions. Also the teachers and students participate in project work.
Polamk implements projects together with universities, other institutions of higher education and research
organisations. Research cooperation also extends to public sector, businesses and the third sector. Our role provides
an excellent opportunity to participate in EU-projects related to crime and security as well as to education and
working-life.
