Language and Communication Centre

Helsinki University of Technology offers Finnish language courses for all international students and employees at HUT. Depending on the number of enrolled students, also other students can be admitted to the courses (but not to the Finnish 1 course in the autumn term).

Finnish courses are organized by the Language and Communication Centre which is located on the 4th and 5th floors of the main building of HUT. Language Centre organizes four Finnish courses, Finnish 1, 2, 3 and 4, each course taking one term, and altogether two academic years. Each course ends with a final examination. Passing the exam is also a requirement for participating in the course for the next level.

The purpose of the Finnish courses at HUT is to provide students with the language skills needed in studying, working and social life while living in Finland. In the study materials, a foreign student's point of view - vocabulary, life style and needs - is emphasized.

The courses contain basic vocabulary and grammar, pair work, discussion, practice in different kinds of everyday life situations, as well as reading, writing and getting acquainted with the Finnish society and culture.
