Welcome to the Järvenpää Unit of Diak!


You will find us in the Helsinki metropolitan area, about 40km north of the city centre. The campus is in a beautiful setting on the shore of Tuusula lake. Our Diak Unit shares this lively campus with other training and development organisations. Here you can find a good balance between the countryside and the city.

Introducing our programmes

Järvenpää Diak degree programmes specialise in social services and youth work and also in training people who will work for the church in these fields. The Unit is engaged with many projects in the region, because we want to be involved in action and research. Järvenpää Diak is proud of its wide international links, developed both for our degree programme students and through our projects. At our Unit it is also possible to follow courses of advanced study and to study for a Master Degree.

If you choose to study in our Bachelor Degree Programme in Social Services, there are three main options:
- Option in Social Services and Education
