| No e-mail available | | Description | | he University of Helsinki is Finland’s oldest, biggest and most diverse institution of higher education conducting research and providing education based on it. The University of Helsinki consists of 11 faculties, representing all academic disciplines with the exception of technology and business, and it operates on four campuses.
The University community comprises 38,000 degree students, two-thirds of whom are women. The annual intake of new students is close to 4000; only one-fifth of the applicants pass the demanding entrance exams.
One of the special characteristics of the University of Helsinki is that it is a bilingual institution: Swedish-language teaching provides improved opportunities for Finnish-speaking students, too, and enhances Nordic co-operation. English has become a third important language of instruction, owing to the increasing internationalisation. The University currently has 1,200 international degree students and annually more than 700 exchange students come to study here.
The University of Helsinki offers excellent opportunities for completing a degree in a wide range of subjects. Some degrees provide specific vocational qualifications while others provide more general competencies to work in a variety of fields within the spheres of culture and society. We encourage multidisciplinary studies across faculty and university boundaries. In autumn 2005, the University adopted a new two-tier degree system, with the exception of medicine. Former credits (opintoviikko) are now ECTS credits (opintopiste).
Studying at the university is an enjoyable and exciting journey during which young people can develop themselves in many ways, both in terms of knowledge and of life skills. University of Helsinki degrees have a strong reputation. The employment prospects of our alumni are good, and the critical scientific thinking they have adopted will provide them with a solid foundation for lifelong learning that is crucial in today’s world. | | Alternate language description | | Not Available | | Areas of study | | Agriculture Botany and Forestry Science, Law, Medicine, Pharmacology, Social Studies, Theology, Philology and Linguistics, History, Philosophy, Translation and Interpretation, Education, Psychology, Clinical Speech Thearpy/Speech-Language Pathology, Biology, Environmental Studies, Zoology, Astronomy, Chemistry, Information Technology, Geography, Nursing, Mathematics, Physics, Communication Studies, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Social Work, Veterinary Medicine | | Language of instruction | Type of School | | Finnish, Swedish, English | Public University | | Type of studies | Accreditation | | University Degree Program, Graduate, Professional Programs |
