Founded in 1920 (the Finnish-language university; the older Swedish-language Åbo Akademi was founded the year before in 1918 in the same city). The University of Turku is Finland's third-largest university. Approximately 20,000 students. Notable alumnus: Artturi Virtanen (Chemistry Nobel 1945). Turku is Finland's oldest city and was the country's capital until 1812 — the original Royal Academy of Turku 1640 (which became University of Helsinki) reflects this heritage.
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).
