Tampere University Student’s Guide

Curricula and teaching schedules

At Tampere University, curricula are designed for three-years periods. However, the curricula for the academic years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 were, exceptionally, decided upon on an annual basis.

Where can I find the curricula?

The curricula and teaching schedules can be found on Sisu and the Student’s Guide. The two systems are used in different ways and for different purposes.

In the Sisu system, you draft your personal study plan (PSP), enrol in teaching and keep tabs on the progress of your studies. Through the Student’s Guide Curriculum and teaching schedule section you have easy access to the curricula and the teaching schedules of the entire University, and you can filter the course offerings in various ways. Furthermore, it is easier to filter all possible free-choice course units and study modules in the Student's guide.

Expiry of studies

In principle, study modules, study units, theses, maturity tests, language proficiency attainments and postgraduate study attainments completed during studies do not expire and are counted towards the degree in their original scope.

Faculty councils may issue further grounds for the validity and expiry of completed study attainments.

More information on the rules applied to transition periods is available from the page Correspondence of old Studies
