At the beginning of each academic semester, the universities in Turku organise an orientation course, during which the newcomers get basic information about studying, Turku and Finland. The programme provides an introduction to the gradual emergence of the welfare states by analysing the Nordic societies through the methodologies of several different academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
Students can combine courses to form a syllabus relevant to their interests.
The programme is taught in English. Participants will be expected to successfully complete a package of 22.5 52.5 ECTS credits during the academic year.
