Language and communication studies

Hi, new student! All bachelor’s degrees pursued at Uniarts Helsinki include mandatory language and communication studies. Read more about language and communication studies and how to complete them on the Students’ Uniarts website

Uniarts Helsinki also offers optional language courses. We are also members of the KiVANET network, through which students can apply for language courses offered by other Finnish higher education institutions. Browse optional studies in the Study Guide.

Please remember to fill in a credit transfer application immediately in the beginning of your studies if you have already completed language or communication studies at a higher education institution and want to use them to substitute for Uniarts Helsinki’s studies.
