Studying
Programmes in French at Turku
French can be studied as part of a Major/Minor degree.
How it works
- Perusopinnot (abbreviated as PO) = BASIC STUDIES
- Aineopinnot (abbreviated as AO) = INTERMEDIATE STUDIES (or Bachelor’s degree)
- Syventävät opinnot (abbreviated as SO) = ADVANCED STUDIES (or Master’s degree)
Postgraduate studies are also possible at the Department of French Studies. Postgraduate studies lead to the degrees of Licentiate of Philosophy (FL) and Doctor of Philosophy (FT). Please note that research at this level is led in French only.
