Our multidisciplinary School is an active participant in international discussion and debate, and we study the questions related to Finnishness and local Finnish communities from various different perspectives.
Each year we organise project courses, where our students can work together with different museums and cultural heritage operators.
What makes us appreciate art or an object? How can museums benefit the society? Why and how are museum collections preserved and managed? Minoring in Museology gives you a theoretical background as well as the practical skills required to work in the museum field. These studies concentrate on how the material culture affects people, what makes us value our cultural heritage, and on other important questions in the field of cultural heritage studies.
Students of Finnish Literature become experts in Finnish literature and the literary institution, or teachers of Finnish language and literature. Our research and teaching cover the Finnish literary history as well as contemporary literary life.
