This series of lectures will examine questions in Finnish history from prehistory to the present. The emphasis will be placed on the period after 1809. The approach to the course will be thematic, chronological, and focused on the major questions concerning the country's past. This course is designed to benefit both Finns as well as foreigners who have no previous knowledge of Finnish history. Complet-ion of the course for credit consists of participation in lectures and composition of an essay. Credits (3) for the course are given by the Faculty of Social Sciences (University of Helsinki) for its Social Science History studies (study unit 6). Students seeking course credit from other institutions and majors should make arrangements with them concerning transfer of credit.
Luentosarjassa tutustutaan Suomen historiaan esihistoriasta nykypäivään. Pääpaino on vuoden 1809 jälkeisessä ajassa. Lähestymistapa on temaattinen ja kronologinen keskittyen Suomen menneisyyden tärkeimpiin kysymyksiin. Kurssi sopii sekä suomalaisille että ulkomaalaisille, jotka eivät ole aiemmin perehtyneet Suomen historiaan. Kurssi luennoidaan englanniksi. Kurssin hyväksytty suoritus (luennot ja essee, jonka aiheesta sovitaan luennoilla) korvaa 3 op Helsingin yliopiston yhteiskuntahistorian opinnoista kohdasta 6 sivuaineopiskelijoille. Muiden oppiaineiden/korkeakoulujen opiskelijoiden tulee varmistaa korvaavuus omasta oppilaitoksestaan.
