Åbo Akademi University is the only exclusively Swedish language multi-faculty university in Finland, or anywhere outside Sweden. It is located mainly in Turku, Åbo being the Swedish name of the city, but has also activities in Vaasa. It should not be confused with the Royal Academy of Åbo, founded in 1640, which moved to Helsinki after the Turku fire of 1827 and is today known as the University of Helsinki. Åbo Akademi was founded by private donations in 1918 as the third university in Finland, both to let Turku again become a university town and because it was felt that the Swedish language was threatened at the University of Helsinki.
