I imagine most of them have History departments :D but Finnish history and classic history, not political.

Historian opinnot voi Suomessa suorittaa yliopistotasolla Helsingin, Joensuun, Jyväskylän, Oulun, Tampereen ja Turun yliopistoissa sekä Åbo Akademissa. Oppiainevalikoima vaihtelee yliopistoittain ja jokaisessa yliopistossa on omanlaisensa pääsykoe. Historian opetus jakautuu useiksi eri oppiaineiksi, joita ovat Suomen historia, Suomen ja Skandinavian historia, yleinen historia, aate- ja oppihistoria sekä kulttuurihistoria.

Thankyou. I'm aware that all of those universities have History in their curriculum, but is one better than another? Does any one in particular have a better rep as a History uni? Does one offer more units than the others? Do any specialize?

They do specialize, thats the idea, they don't "compete" you "compete" to get in ;) Also different universities have a bit of a different "taste" in how they do their things.

If you don't have any constructive answers, why do you bother? :roll:

Does anyone else know anything about the History units offered at the different Uni's, or do I have to go through each one individually?
I'm just trying to find out, as easily as possible, if any have a better reputation than the others, or which ones specialize in Finnish and Classic History?

If you can tell me that Pursuivant, I would be grateful. I'm really not interested in swapping banter.
