Faculty of Education and Culture
The Faculty of Education and Culture consists of three units with different tasks.
The Unit of Education is a research and learning community investigating the state of education in society and reshaping education. We are training experts and change-makers with strong social and cultural awareness and an analytical mindset for the education sector.
The Faculty also includes the Tampere University Teacher Training School, which trains future teachers, and the Language Centre, which provides the communication and language studies included in all the degrees completed at the University.
