Studies in Swedish

The Swedish department offers courses for three different target groups, depending on your Swedish language background. These three groups are Swedish as mother tongue, Swedish as a second language and Swedish as a foreign language. The current page addresses the third group: Swedish as a foreign language.

Courses in Swedish as a foreign language are offered at different levels. If you have never studied Swedish before, you are welcome to join the beginners' course. If you already have some knowledge of Swedish, you can choose a course that suits your level best. The levels of the courses are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). If you are not familiar with the system, please contact the teacher to discuss which course would suit you best.

All the courses available in Swedish as a foreign language are listed below. You may choose courses according to your own starting level.

Courses offered for non-degree students and co-op students

All courses in Swedish as a foreign language are open for degree students and exchange students from other Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences as well as for students via open university.
