The aim of the Centre for Multilingual Academic Communication, Movi (ex-Language Centre), is for all students to develop multilingual academic communication competences so that they can engage in expert communication in all the languages they need, both during their studies and after graduation.

Movi's currently largest pedagogical development project is ‘UVK' – new, integrated structures for communication and language courses – in which the compulsory communication and language courses of bachelor’s degrees have been integrated into major subject studies. Our  INTEGRA project develops an educational model that integrates university language and content studies for immigrants who have completed or are qualified for higher education and aim to finish their interrupted degree studies or complement a prior degree in Finland. Movi launched a Care and Reading Dog Project in spring 2018.

Care and Reading Dogs in Teaching Movi, together with Student Life, the Student Union, and the Kennel Club, initiated a project in which care and reading dogs are introduced on campus to enhance the well-being and learning ability of students, as well as to promote new pedagogical methods.
UVK – New, integrated structures for communication and language studies UVK (short for the Finnish uusimuotoiset viestintä- ja kieliopinnot) refers to communication and language teaching that is multilingual, discipline specific and timely.
EOTO - Each One Teach One Each One Teach One, also known as EOTO is a programme for you who want to get to know students from different countries and learn different languages.
