Snellman University College was founded in 1980, which, in addition to Steiner Waldorf teacher education programmes leading to a qualification, offers art training courses of various lengths. As an institution of liberal education, all studies organised by Snellman University College are liberal studies as defined by the Liberal Education Act. However, the Ministry of Education has defined the special task of the Snellman University College as the organisation of teacher education in Steiner pedagogy. Teacher education at the Snellman University College is, in line with university teacher training, aimed at the professional qualification and expertise of a teacher of general education and pre-school education.
