List of courses offered in English can be found at Course schedules available in WebOodi: There are three different levels of courses. The levels you can see, for example, from the course codes – for example A Management Control –P in the end stands for basic course (bachelor level, courses only available in Finnish) –A in the end stands for intermediate course (bachelor level, some courses in Finnish and some in English) –S in the end stands for advanced course (master, courses in English) Course information

Exchange students can take any intermediate level courses (letter A in the course code), some previous studies (in that field) required. For example: A Global Economics. A couple of Economics’ courses done before would be a good background for this one. In order to attend advanced (master) courses (S) you should have a pretty solid background in that specific field (for example Finance). For example: S Cross-cultural Negotiations. Several courses done in International Business/Management (or similar fields) would be a good background for this one. For some courses there are specific requirements, for some courses a couple of basic courses done in the same field is enough –> Check on course descriptions Courses offered in English
