The Language Centre offers preparatory courses, text workshops and consultations, language tests and certificates.

Support services include language-level tests, preparatory courses, a text workshop and text consultation. For example, if you are uncertain about your level in Finnish and are hesitant about whether you should choose taking the language test or the course, you can take a self-test to assist you. If you have previous knowledge of German, you can take a language-level test that will indicate which course you should choose.

Preparatory courses in Finnish and English

The Language Centre arranges preparatory courses in Finnish and English that prepare students for the faculty-specific language courses. To know which alternative in Finnish you should choose, you can take a self-test.

Text workshop and text consultation

You can visit our text workshop to further develop the language in texts in Swedish or English that you are writing as part of your studies, e.g. assignments, presentations, degree projects. If you are writing your thesis and want advice as to how to improve the language of your text, you can receive text consultations in Swedish and English.
