Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to use and understand Finnish expressions related to common everyday matters (household, hobbies, arranging to meet somebody, making an appointment). Students will also be able to describe some of the most important things about themselves and their families, their hopes and wishes, their surroundings, studies, work and other such topics, and understand descriptions of such topics. Furthermore, students will be able to give accounts of hypothetical situations and understand corresponding accounts.

In cases where more students register for a course than space allows, priority is assigned as follows:

1. First priority is given to the degree students of the University of Tampere.
2. Second priority is given to the exchange students of the University of Tampere.
3. Third priority is given to the Tampere3 students and to the high school students of the UTA Teacher Training School.

In addition, there is a quota of 5 for the Open University students in every group.
