Language Centre's curriculum

Please familiarise yourself with the Language Centre's curriculum either in the PDF file below or through the links, which take you to the Student's Guide's Curriculum section. The curriculum presented here includes all courses, which are taught in English or are targeted at students, whose native language is not Finnish. The language of instruction of other courses at the Language Centre is generally Finnish, and therefore sufficient Finnish skills are required. However, most of the more advanced classes in other foreign languages, e.g. Spanish and German, are taught in the target language, thus students with sufficient knowledge of the language may participate in those courses. The entire curriculum can be found on the Finnish site of the Student's Guide at Kielikeskuksen opetussuunnitelma, opetustarjonta ja opetusmuodot.

According to the guidelines made by the Language Centre steering group, beginner-level courses will be offered once during the curriculum period 2024–2027. In the academic year 2025-2026, the offerings include courses in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. In the 2026–2027 academic year, Italian will be offered. Students can study Portuguese through the courses offered by the KiVANET network.
