Brahe Education Centre is a multidisciplinary vocational education centre for young people and adults. Brahe operates in Raahe, Ruukki and Oulu, Finland, and hosts some 2,000 students and 140 staff. Our student age group covers all ages from 16, and some are adults pursuing a new career. We provide education and training for professions in the fields of technology, services, creative industries, and natural resources. Our programmes include theoretical studies, practical training and learning on the job. We tailor an individual skills development plan to each student on the basis of their personal strengths and skills. Vocational degree training courses typically last for three years without any prior expertise in the field. Our graduates are well prepared to enter the labour market, start their own business or continue studies at university. Our degree programmes entitle our graduates to continue studies at tertiary level. Our graduates are the makers of the future who, in addition to good vocational skills, have a solid skill set and the know-how to operate in an international environment.
