Research

At the University of Helsinki, every lecturer engages in research and every researcher teaches. Thus, also within Bachelor's programme in Liberal Arts and Sciences, all teaching is founded on top-quality research. Further, the multiple project courses embed students into real ongoing research in practice, and the programme itself is a target and beneficiary of pedagogical research.
Research-based education

Teaching at the University of Helsinki is based on research and provided by researchers well-versed in their discipline, teaching the topics of their research.

In addition to relevant research-based knowledge, university education utilises diverse teaching and assessment methods promoting students’ learning, the development of scholarly thinking and the establishment of expertise.

From the beginning of their studies, students are part of the academic community. They get to familiarise themselves with the latest research. In many fields, students have the opportunity to complete their thesis in collaboration with research groups.
