Digital Transformation in Health and Social Care
We offer a unique opportunity to participate in the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) and learn from experts from different countries. The inspiring programme consists of online workshops and collaborative teamwork with an intensive week in Helsinki, Finland.
The Digital Transformation BIP is organised with Diak’s partner HEIs Kärnten University of Applied Sciences (Austria), VID Specialized University (Norway) and EvH Bochum (Germany).
“Great new learning experience!”
The first Erasmus+ BIP was organised in spring 2022 with excellent feedback from participants. See the videos of the student interviews!

Public Transportation
We recommend downloading the HSL app to buy tickets and find the rutes. This app can be used also for the train from the airport to the city centre. Alternatively, you can buy day tickets (for 1-7 days) e.g. from R-kioski.
Helsinki Journey Planner is a practical tool for finding public transportation routes and schedules.
From Helsinki central railway station, the bus number 55 (departs from platform 3) stops in front of the campus building (stop Haukilahdenkatu). The journey takes 15 minutes.
