Carlos Dominguez

A beautiful building of classical architecture, the work of architect Carl Engel, designer of the entire urban space developed around Senate Square. This building, the University building, built on the west side of the square, is almost a mirror image of the Senate building, built on the opposite side of the square.

Juha Nurmonen

Such a great place. History whispers from wall decorations and the newest technology is used practise and especially ideas are developed in minds. Organisation works well and is thus spiritual home for so many former and current students, staff members and research groups. Excellent alumni network, too.

Peihsi Lin

Visiting University of Helsinki for an art event called LUX Helsinki 2020. There was a cool installation art on campus that you can experience by yourself! Really recommend visiting here during the event, which usually comes around the first week of January.

The top-ranked university in Finland. Grand buildings and situated around Senate Square. The school is strong in social sciences (such as Economics and Political Sciences) and sciences such as Medicine. Easily accessible by Train and trams!

Jane Fagerström

The center of Finnish academic life. The University of Helsinki significantly brightened my image of our capital! The large ballroom in the main building is worth experiencing: the moments spent there will remain in your heart as memories.

I went there without much expectation, thinking I'd just take a walk around Helsinki Station, but the atmosphere was surprisingly lyrical, which was really nice. The student cafeteria and cafe were also cheap! Haha

jian gu

The main building of the University of Helsinki, big enough to occupy the whole street block. It forms a kind of mirror symmetry to the building of the Finnish ministry of finance on the other side of the square.

Niladri Saha

Good for science and arts department but below average for engineering studies. Like the weather, people are very cold and reserved. A bit overrated University. Tampere University is better than this one.

We went here for a conference, namely ISLS 2025. The university is very peaceful. The students are very helpful. The food that they provided was very healthy and good. People are extremely punctual.

Saana Savolainen

Open to everyone. The building also houses the university museum, which is open Mon-Wed at 11:30 a.m. It is worth a visit. It is also very suitable for those with limited mobility.
