University of Helsinki - Exchange Programme

The University of Helsinki is Finland’s largest and oldest academic institution. Since 1640, it has contributed to the establishment of a fair and equal society that is considered the best in the world according to a number of indicators. Today, this multidisciplinary academic community solves problems that concern all of us, also on a global scale.

Nowadays, the University of Helsinki has grown into 40 000 people scattered into 11 faculties on four campuses. Its research and education set global benchmarks, thanks to its belief that the search for new knowledge and boundary-breaking research can lead to solutions that have a real, global impact on the future.

Its strategic plan currently emphasises four research themes: wellbeing for humans and our environment, a humane and fair world, a sustainable future for our planet, and the possibilities that limitless curiosity opens up – a universe of ideas and opportunities.
