About the programme

In Finnish language studies, you gain a comprehensive picture not only of the structure of the language but also of language as a means of communication and interaction. The study of the Finnish language, or Fennistics, is an academic discipline in which you learn to analyse the Finnish language on an abstract level, as well as the variation and use of language in different situations.
