These institutions are listed in the article List of polytechnics in Finland. The polytechnics have the right to confer degrees in categories ammattikorkeakoulututkinto/yrkeshögskoleexamen and ylempi ammattikorkeakoulututkinto/högre yrkeshögskoleexamen. In international usage, these degrees are classified as Bachelor's and Master's degrees.3 Contents 1 Universities 1.1 Multidisciplinary universities 1.2 Specialised universities 2 See also 3 References Universities Multidisciplinary universities The Finnish universities are (sorted by the year of establishment): University of Helsinki (1640/1827) Åbo Akademi University in Turku (1918) University of Turku (1920) University of Tampere (1925) University of Jyväskylä (1866, promoted to university status in 1934) University of Oulu (1958) University of Vaasa (1968) University of Lapland in Rovaniemi (1979) Aalto University (1849/2010) University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu and Kuopio (2010) Specialised universities In Finland, there are also some institutions of higher education that have full university status, but which specialise in certain academic fields: Academy of Fine Arts (Finland) in Helsinki Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, Swedish-language School of Economics, in Helsinki Lappeenranta University of Technology Sibelius Academy, University level music school, in Helsinki Tampere University of Technology Theatre Academy in Helsinki Finnish National Defence University in Helsinki Unlike the other schools in this list, the National Defence University is not considered a university by Finnish law, although it has the authority to award bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees and to pursue free research, and its rector is a member of the Council of Finnish University rectors.4 The practical effect of this distinction is minor, and most notable in the administrative organisation of the university, which is military instead of civilian.
