Department of Modern Finnish and Translation
The Department of Modern Finnish and Translation
offers studies in Finnish Language and
Culture. The major subject Modern Finnish as
a Foreign Language is intended for students who
have begun their studies of Finnish abroad and
22
Suomea Finska Finnish
who wish to continue their studies in Finland.
The programme is oriented towards modern
Finnish, its technolects, and contrastive and
translation studies. The instruction is carried
out in Finnish and since the propaedeutical
courses take more than a year it would be useful
for the students to have a working knowledge of
Finnish on their arrival in Vaasa.
The programme consists of study units (30
ECTS credits each): basic studies, subject studies,
advanced level studies and the MA thesis.
The studies are fairly equally divided between
linguistics and literature.
Students can supplement their studies for an
academic degree (BA: 120 local credits / 180
ECTS credits or MA: 160 local credits / 240
ECTS credits) with other subjects (40 - 80
local credits/ 60 - 120 ECTS credits) which
widen the picture of Finland and Scandinavia;
these subjects are offered by various university
departments in Vaasa. Postgraduate students are
also admitted to pursue advanced level studies
in the special fi elds of the department.
Application deadline is the end of February
each year.
