Schools and Language Centre

From 1 January 2011 the organisational structure of the University of Tampere changed. Functions pertaining to the University’s teaching and research were organised into nine schools, to which the former departments and faculties were transferred:

• Institute of Biomedical Technology
• School of Communication, Media and Theatre
• School of Education
• School of Health Sciences
• School of Information Sciences
• School of Language, Translation, and Literary Studies
• School of Management
• School of Medicine
• School of Social Sciences and Humanities

The Language Centre is an independent institute within the University. It offers both compulsory (for degree students) and optional courses in the two official languages of Finland, Finnish and Swedish, and in foreign languages for students’ needs in their studies and prospective careers.
