Abstract

[Finnish polytechnics (AMK institutions) are in transition. They are in transition as organisations after a number of merger operations which amalgamated over 200 vocational institutions to form 32 polytechnics. They are in transition also because of the challenges stemming from new national legislation and the Bologna Process. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of Finnish polytechnics and analyse their development from the perspective of governance and institutional autonomy. The study is based on published research on Finnish higher education complemented by personal experiences gained in universities and polytechnics.]
