Our teaching is based on the most recent research as well as on the needs of working life. All Finnish university degrees have a compulsory language and communication element. Movi's innovation and a huge undertaking has been to re-structure the degree-specific courses into multilingual entities. These run parallel the BA study content to ensure that the students learn and practice skills, strategies and content exactly when they need them.
We understand that modern society calls for diverse paths for both study trajectories and for transitioning to work life. That is why we also design courses for students with different educational and linguistic backgrounds.

Exchange students are welcome to take courses at the Centre for Multilingual Academic Communication. It is definately easier and more interesting to live in Finland if you know at least a little bit Finnish. Studying and learning through English may also require that you update your skills in academic English. Or how about studying a completely new language? Remember that all studies are free of charge for our students and staff.
At Movi you can choose additional courses according to your individual learning needs and interests. Besides language courses, what about for example selecting courses related to multilingualism and intercultural communication in order to make the most out of your international experience in Jyväskylä?
By the master’s level, you should consider how you could distinguish yourself with your interaction and language skills in a job application situation. If you are planning on a career in Finland, now is also the time to ensure that you have
sufficient Finnish skills.
At the University of Jyväskylä, you have excellent opportunities to develop your research expertise and career path also by expanding your academic communication skills, both in English and Finnish.
The Movi courses designed for doctoral researchers support you at the various stages of your postgraduate studies – right from the first steps to the public examination of your dissertation.

The care and reading dogs of the Kennel Club started their “work” on the campus in autumn 2018. This Knowhau programme has proved to be popular and is now expanding: more staff members are joining the team of voluntary Kennel Club instructors in Jyväskylä.
