Finnish language and culture
NB: THE LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION OF THE PROGRAMME IS FINNISH; ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LANGUAGE IS THEREFORE REQUIRED.
The Finnish Language and Culture programme is offered for international students with previous studies in the Finnish language. The programme consists of two parts: the Basic (introductory) studies and the Intermediate (bachelor-level) studies.
The first part, the introductory studies (25 ECTS), deepens participants' knowledge of the use and structure of Finnish as well as its regional and stylistic variants. The courses will acquaint students with the main authors and central works of Finnish literature and different trends in it, and provide information about the history, culture and life in Finnish society. All courses in the introductory studies are meant exclusively for foreign students.
The bachelor-level studies (35 ECTS) are meant for students with advanced knowledge of the Finnish language. It consists of advanced practical (e.g. academic writing) and theoretical (e.g. Finnish syntax) studies in Finnish language and linguistics, and of studies in Finnish literature, culture and society. The courses in cultural and social issues are offered by different departments at the University of Turku. Some of the courses in the bachelor-level studies are meant exclusively for foreign students, but for the most part the courses are for both Finnish and foreign students.
