SUMMER UNIVERSITIES IN FINLAND – IN BRIEF
There are 20 summer universities in Finland, and they organise courses both in cities and
smaller towns across the country throughout the year. Each year nearly 62,000 students,
including more than 1,000 international students, enrol on courses organised by the summer
universities.
Summer universities give an opportunity for both personal and professional development. All
summer universities operate in close partnership and permanent collaboration with Finnish
universities, Universities of Applied Sciences and other institutions of learning.
Courses are open to everyone regardless of age or prior education. However, it is essential to
notice that summer universities offer short-term courses, not degree programmes. The
language of instruction is mainly Finnish, but some courses are taught in English. Among our
non-Finnish speaking students, the most popular courses are on Finnish language and culture .
In addition to student fees, summer universities receive their funding from the state and
municipalities. Summer universities take part in educational and cultural projects that aim for
regional and European development. Therefore their role as educators is important.
Summer universities plan their curricula on a yearly basis in cooperation with Finnish
universities. Interdisciplinary programmes are offered in the fields of cultural studies, European
studies, Finnish language and culture, art, dance, music, theatre, education, environmental
sciences, health care and social sciences. Please note that each summer university has its own
curriculum.
The Association of Summer Universities in Finland is a national body founded in 1972. The aim
is to take care of the interests of summer universities, provide information and collect statistics
about their activities. The association also acts as a coordinating link between various interest
groups and summer universities both nationally and internationally.
