We are located in the Physicum Building in Kumpula. The building has four wings, A, B, C, and D; the division is mainly located in the wing C of the third floor.
The telephone number of the University is +358-(0)9-1911 (telephone exchange). Below, numbers given in the form (191) 50602 are direct numbers to the extensions from outside, and the parts outside parentheses are direct numbers from inside.

A very unofficial guide to Finnish academic titles.
