University of Jyväskylä
Language Centre & Department of Languages,
Finnish
The Language Centre arranges basic Finnish
courses (Finnish 1 - 5, 2 - 3 local credits / 4 - 6
ECTS credits each) both before and during
the academic year. Most courses last one term;
intensive one-month beginners’ courses are
usually given in August. The courses are free of
charge for degree students, exchange students
and other members of the university community.
Outside applicants may be accepted for a fee
of 85 euros per one local credit course (2 ECTS
credits), 170 euros per 2 local credit course(4
ECTS credits) and 255 euros per 3 local credit
course (6 ECTS credits).
Survival Finnish is intended for students who
want to study some basics but do not plan to
continue their Finnish studies further. Finnish
1 - 5, then, form the basis for further independent
acquisition of Finnish. A student who has
successfully completed Finnish 4 has suffi cient
structural knowledge and communicative skills
for studying in Finnish, but further work on vocabulary
and stylistic variation is still necessary.
Thus Finnish 5 focuses on special, idiomatic features
of Finnish vocabulary and oral and written
skills needed especially in academic contexts.
