Working life connections

These basic courses are your first steps to get important language skills. It is difficult to find a job in Finland without knowing any Finnish language or Finnish culture.

Exam dates and re-exam possibilities

- First supervised written assignment ("midterm test") on Fri 13.10.2023 at 14:00 at Pasila Campus
- Second supervised written assignment ("final test") on Fri 8.12.2023 at 14:00 at Pasila Campus

- Students, who want to improve their grade after the course, can take a re-test. You have two attempts within half a year after the course has ended. Ask your teacher for the dates. The re-test covers the whole course content. Re-test only can approve the points you got from the "supervised assignments". The points for "continuous assessment" stay.

Internationality

The course is conducted in BBA programs with a mix of international students. Also, the Finnish language and culture taught in the course will expand your knowledge of internationality.

Completion alternatives
