History

Founded 1863 as the first Finnish-speaking teacher training college, Jyväskylä Teacher Seminary. JYU became Jyväskylä College of Education in 1934 and acquired its present status and title, University of Jyväskylä, in 1966. The University of Jyväskylä is part of the Kajaani University Consortium (KUC) a networked academic community focused on scientific research, university teaching and community relations. The Kajaani University Consortium consists of four networked universities (Eastern Finland, Lapland, Jyväskylä and Oulu) that have units in Kajaani and Sotkamo. The Consortium is coordinated by University of Oulu.
