This book unravels the origins, continuities, and discontinuities
of Finnish higher education as part of European higher education
from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. It describes the
emergence of universities in the Middle Ages and the Finnish
student, and moves on to the Reformation and the end of Swedish
rule. It then discusses the founding of the Royal Academy of Turku,
its professors and governing bodies, its role as a community,
student numbers, the research and controversies. Travelling through
the age of autonomy, the first decades of independence and the
Second World War, the book examines the expansion of higher
education, the development of the system, and the establishment of
polytechnics. It concludes by analysing the multiple institutional
and organisational layers of Finnish higher education. Altogether,
the book offers an historical study that shows how and why
education and higher education have been important in the process
of making the Finnish nation and nation state. Translator: Dr. Inga
Arffman
