UJ was founded in 1863 as a school for Finnish language teachers. It is now home to several centers of research including evolutionary research, nuclear and accelerator-based physics, learning and motivation research, and political thought and conceptual change. There is also a strong academic focus in sport and health sciences and teacher education. Nearly 16,000 students take advantage of the university’s academics as well as the lakeside beach in the center of campus, recreational and cultural activities, and stunning modern and historic architecture. Jyväskylä is the perfect location for winter sports enthusiasts as there are many skiing opportunities, including slopes and cross-country trails near student housing. Indoor activities include theater and orchestra performances, as well as museums and a large sports complex near campus. In warm weather students can take advantage of nearby Lake Paijanne to fish or canoe or just relax on the beach. |
