JYU.INTEGRA training bases on a a four-year project (2018 - 2022), in which a pedagogical model for integrated university language and content studies was designed. The training is meant 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 compliance with Finnish qualification requirements. The aim is to create a permanent model that can be applied in other higher education institutions as well. The training can also serve as individual integration training, for which the students may receive unemployment benefits.
In addition to the educational objectives, the model seeks to promote immigrants’ integration into society as well as the development of multilingual competence and university pedagogy.
Development and research of Integra training is ongoing. Our aim is to develop a model which can be applied to other institutions of higher education. With the help of this model, centred on multilingual skills and pedagogical development at the university level, our goal is to enable immigrants to more successfully integrate with society.
