The University of Turku recognises areas of strength in research. Molecular biosciences form the widest strength area of the University. Other recognised areas of strength are cardiovascular and metabolic research, ecological interactions and ecological genetics research, learning and education research, future studies and research on institutional design and social mechanisms.
The University has seven faculties: Faculties of Humanities, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Medicine, Law, Social Sciences and Education and Turku School of Economics. Outside the faculties are eleven special units where research activities and learning take place.
Further proof of the University’s research activities growing stronger comes from the Academy of Finland’s four new National Centres of Excellence placed under the coordination of Turku. In all, the University now coordinates six centres of excellence, which are among the world’s best in their fields of research.
Total enrolment of students is 21,000 and each year about 1,000 international students study at the University. Most of them participate in English-language programmes or at the doctoral level in research projects. Even though the main language of instruction is Finnish, 15 International Master's Degree Programmes are available in English and each Faculty offers courses in English to both non-degree and degree students.
