Practical notes:

Some things to consider.

Arriving at the airport, bus 615/615T/615N will take you to the city centre for 4 €. You can use the same ticket for travel with all public transportation in the Helsinki region. (Within Helsinki, a ticket costs 2.50 €.) In the time table found here, "Lentoasema" means "Airport" while "Rautatieasema" equals "Central railway station". Public transport in Helsinki
The Journey Planner and Google Maps might be helpful.
Look at the latest weather reports before travelling as temperatures might drop down to -15 degrees for the Winter School week.

Other things of interest:

Helsinki might be cold, but is not dead in December. Check out the Tourist info page. Via that site, you can also find information about for example accommodation, like this:
