The framework for studying at Proakatemia is the team enterprise founded at the beginning of the studies.

These values are in line with and concretize the common values of Tampere University of Applied Sciences: a sense of community, respect for the individual and individual differences, sustainable development, and appreciation of expertise and entrepreneurship.

Proakatemia offers the possibility for team entrepreneurship, international work, and unique networks. The value path of Proakatemia, trust, boldness, actions, learning and success, describes the learning process.
