Why study Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Helsinki?

TÄSSÄ OLISI HYVÄ ALOITTAA LYHYELLÄ SELITYKSELLÄ YLEISESTI SIITÄ MITÄ ON LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES

So, why this programme? Well:

  1. Liberal Arts and Sciences programmes have been proven through research to provide skills useful in both today's as well as tomorrow's job market
  2. As evidenced by further research, these skills are also valued by employers, leading to good job-market outcomes for graduates
  3. As compared to other such programmes, the offering at the University of Helsinki is uniquely broad in the disciplines involved, but at the same time has been designed to not be just a confusing smorgasbord, but instead to provide a clear scaffolding that relates all the offerings to each other.
  4. Further, this structure is designed so that while allowing a lot of exploration of different options and resulting in a broad education, at the end of multiple sets of structured choices, the students also end up with clearly defined (inter)disciplinary expert profiles, useful in both looking for jobs, as well as providing direct pathways to multiple master's level study options both at the University of Helsinki and elsewhere.

The Bachelor's Programme in Liberal Arts and Sciences aims to provide a degree programme that gives our students a full advantage of the range of disciplines taught at the University of Helsinki.
