The strike notice applies to Lapland University of Applied Sciences.

The Trade Union of Education OAJ has issued a strike notice also for September 8-10, 2026. The strike will take place unless an agreement is reached prior to that date in the labor dispute over the collective bargaining agreement. The strike notice applies to six universities of applied sciences, including Lapland University of Applied Sciences.

If the strike takes place, it may affect teaching at Lapland UAS in various ways, depending on the program. Lapland University of Applied Sciences regrets that, due to the strike, some teaching activities will have to be cancelled.

The strike constitutes a force majeure situation. The cancellation of teaching is caused by industrial action that is beyond the control of the University of Applied Sciences. For this reason, the University of Applied Sciences will not reimburse students for any travel expenses or other costs that may arise from the cancellation of teaching. We apologize for any inconvenience the strike may cause to students.

Please actively monitor communications from your degree programme regarding the potential impact of the strike on teaching and schedules.
