THE PROFESSIONAL SERIES
THE PROFESSIONAL SERIES – THE EDUCATION GROUP
Level B2-C2
This group will meet once a month on Mondays. Ideally there will be 4-6 students in the group who all share a professional interest in education in
Finland and internationally. Your field of interest may, for example, be related to primary years education, higher education, adult education,
vocational education and training or youth policy.
Discussion work will focus on current affairs in the field of education; we will also practise reading, listening and writing skills, and rehearse
professional skills such as presentations and meetings.
If your current position requires you to discuss Finland's education system in English, if you receive visitors from abroad or if you travel to
conferences in other countries, whether you represent a public sector organisation or a private company, this course is a real opportunity for you to
expand your vocabulary and improve your communication skills.
