The School of History, Culture and Arts Studies is a multidisciplinary unit consisting of 16 departments and five degree programmes. Our research focuses on medieval and early modern history, nature and its diversity, multiculturality and the processes of cultural interaction, arts and popular culture, experiences, stories and memory, as well as humanities-oriented approaches to digitalisation. The School also places a strong emphasis on gender studies across its disciplines.

Each year we organise project courses, where our students can work together with different museums and cultural heritage operators.

What makes us appreciate art or an object? How can museums benefit the society? Why and how are museum collections preserved and managed? Minoring in Museology gives you a theoretical background as well as the practical skills required to work in the museum field. These studies concentrate on how the material culture affects people, what makes us value our cultural heritage, and on other important questions in the field of cultural heritage studies. 

Students of Finnish Literature become experts in Finnish literature and the literary institution, or teachers of Finnish language and literature. Our research and teaching cover the Finnish literary history as well as contemporary literary life.
