The language policy programme in brief
The novel language policy programme clarifies the use of languages at the University of Oulu and promotes the inclusion of all members of the University community. It aims to ensure that everyone has equal access to information and can participate actively.
Finnish is the official language of governance in Finnish universities. However, the University of Oulu actively promotes the parallel use of Finnish and English in all its affairs. The University services are committed to operating in both Finnish and English. We also encourage the use of other languages in everyday situations, when possible.
