I would recommend this kind of language training to anyone arriving in Finland. It has helped me in day-to-day life when shopping for groceries, for example.
Support for internationalisation and internationality
The UEF // EMBA International Business and Marketing study module (15 ECTS) consists of three courses, each worth five ECTS. The module is aimed at executives and experts and focuses on issues related to global trade, sales and marketing, internationalisation strategies and ethical questions in international business.
Our personalised language training courses for doctors are efficient in integrating international doctors as part of the community of Finnish medical professionals. We can provide language training both at participants’ workplaces and remotely. The training focuses on the language which the doctor needs in their daily work. The training may cover topics such as patient-doctor interactions, writing patient records, official communication and medical jargon. The content of the training is planned together with the participant and their employer. The aim of the training is to develop Finnish language skills needed in the medical profession, which will lead to smoother interaction and cooperation with patients and public authorities.
