Founded in 1918 as Finland's Swedish-language university (re-established — the original Royal Academy of Turku 1640 had been Latin and Swedish before relocating as Finnish-language University of Helsinki). Åbo Akademi is Finland's only fully Swedish-medium university — Swedish is one of Finland's two official languages, spoken by ~5% of Finns (mostly along the coast and on Åland). Approximately 5,500 students. Programmes offered in Swedish, Finnish, and English. Located in Turku (in Swedish: Åbo).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
