The University of the Arts Helsinki (Finnish: Taideyliopisto, Swedish: Konstuniversitetet) is an international university that was formed in 2013 as a result of a merger between three formerly independent universities: Sibelius Academy, Theatre Academy Helsinki, and Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki. The university provides the highest level of education in the arts in Finland, also engaging in artistic activities and research.

Aside from a few exceptions, it is the only university-level educational institution in the study fields (fine arts, music, theatre and dance) it represents in Finland. University of the Arts Helsinki is mainly based in Helsinki, but it also has activities in Kuopio and Seinäjoki.

The university comprises three academies: Academy of Fine Arts, Sibelius Academy and Theatre Academy, all of which are equal in terms of educational content and cultural significance. The university has (as of 2014) approximately 2000 students. Its current rector is Jari Perkiömäki. The vice rector is Paula Tuovinen, and the chair of the board is Karri Kaitue.
