About University of Helsinki
The University of Helsinki was founded in 1640 as the Royal Academy of Turku, during Swedish rule. After a fire destroyed much of Turku in 1827, it moved to Helsinki, the new capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland, and it took its current name in 1919. It is Finland's oldest and largest university, with four campuses in Helsinki.
