The University Language Centre arranges Finnish courses on beginners', intermediate and advanced levels. Survival Finnish is especially for exchange students who stay in Finland for only one term or who do not plan to continue their Finnish studies during the following term. Finnish 1 at the basic level, Finnish 2 and Finnish 3 at the intermediate level. In addition, complementary courses focusing on individual language skills are offered at various levels usually once a year. We recommend that all international students take an active part in Finnish courses appropriate to their starting level.
Some faculties require certain courses.
Others require that language skills equivalent to the average grade 4 of the National Certificate of Language Proficiency in Finnish are demonstrated for the completion of the degree.
