Abo Akademi University is the only completely Swedish-medium university in bilingual Finland. The university offers both undergraduate studies and extensive research opportunities to some 7,500 students on three campuses. The university has an acknowledged national position at the forefront of research in such areas as biosciences, computer science and process chemistry. The Faculty of Education, located in Vaasa on the west coast since 1974, is responsible for all Swedish teacher education in Finland. The Faculty educates Bachelors, Masters and Doctors of Education. The Bologna process has not brought drastic changes to Finnish teacher education as it has been fully integrated in the university degree system since 1979. ABO seeks to improve the quality of teacher education and teacher professionalism throughout the teaching career. Current research includes learning and education from a late-modernity perspective with the aim of developing knowledge about these processes e.g. in relation to the increasing multiculturalism in society and digital culture.
