In the basic education for adults, the students first carry out the introductory studies, whenever it is necessary. The introductory phase consists of 38 courses and takes usually one year. In the introductory phase, the study skills and Finnish language knowledge required for the basic education are ensured. After achieving sufficient knowledge and skills in Finnish language, the student can move on to the final phase of studies. The introductory phase may also include a literacy phase. Introductory phase will take place if there are enough applicants.
The final phase of basic education for adults contains at least 46 courses. The studies aim at a primary school graduation and certificate. The studies are based on the National Curriculum of Basic Education for Adults.
The final phase usually takes from 1.5 to 2 years.
Do you want to complete a Finnish comprehensive school (peruskoulu), get a basic education diploma and be well prepared for postgraduate studies?
Do you need to supplement your previous basic education degree?
Do you want to raise the grades of the primary and secondary school subjects?
In the basic education for adults, several school subjects are studied as courses. The education corresponds to the grades 7-9 in the Finnish comprehensive school (peruskoulun yläkoulu).
Basic education for adults is intended for persons over compulsory school age (>18 years) who have not completed the basic education curriculum at all or who wish to complete their degree or raise their grades. The student must have sufficient skills in Finnish language (A2.1) so that she or he can study different school subjects in Finnish.
You can apply for the basic adult education continuously. New groups start in August and in January. However, as the school year is divided into six periods, new students can also start the studies in the beginning of a period. Teaching is in Finnish, and our highly qualified teachers take into account individual learning skills of each student.
The basic education for adults is free of charge for everyone.
