Studying Finnish

Learning Finnish makes living easier

Though it is possible to take a degree in Finland only using English, it is worthwhile to learn some Finnish as well. It will facilitate your everyday life in Finland and help you to understand the people and culture better. Also, learning at least the basics of the local language can be a considerable asset for you when searching for employment after graduation.

The Finnish language is taught at more than 100 universities around the world. In Finland eight universities offer degree studies in Finnish and besides, most universities in Finland offer Finnish courses to their students at language centres.

There are several organisers of Finnish courses in Finland throughout the year. Please refer to the links on the right-hand margin for more information.
