Introduction

How did Eng­lish Be­come a World Lan­guage?

In the Master’s Programme in English Studies at the University of Helsinki, you develop your expertise in areas that are often separated from other programmes: English language and linguistics, literature in English and the teaching of English. You can take courses in all three areas or just focus on one of them. Up to 25 elective courses are offered each academic year as well as research seminars that will support you in writing your Master’s thesis. You can also combine modules from other programmes at the Faculty of Arts to your degree, for example, Digital Humanities and Literary Studies.

This program is also available in Finnish and Swedish.

Stu­dents and stu­dent life

Student life and especially the student organisation culture is exceptionally rich and diverse in Finland. Also at the University of Helsinki, the student community is very active.
