General Description of the Institution (incl. type and status) Academia Thules is a voluntary work non-profit -organisation registered as such in Finland. We currently are not accredited institution of learning: our degrees and studies cannot compensate any ”normal” university degrees or studies without prior case-by-case contract between your university and Academia. The goal of Academia Thules is to become as a fully accredited virtual institution which operates in cooperation with other universities by arranging teaching and degrees in the field of ancient cultures research, especially ancient Roman and Mediterranean cultures. With this we expect to be able to offer proper compensation for our teachers for their work in the future. Our degrees currently do not carry same amount of credits as normal university degrees carry, but our goal is to expand our degrees to be equivalent of normal university degrees when we have resources to maintain adequate amount of teaching. Our vision of academic strengths of Academia Thules is that we will be able to offer teaching in areas where normal universities are not currently offering it, for example active skills in Latin. List of degree programmes offered Academia Thules offers three level programmes: Baccalaureus, Magister and Doctor. More detailed information about each degree can be found at chapter Structure of Studies and Degrees. Admission/registration There is no admission or registration fee. There are no requirements for registering as student (except being of full legal age, please consult eligibility page for more information), some of courses may have admission fees or restrictions and they are explained in detail at chapter Course Selector. |
