2nd National Language of Finland in recommended timetables

All students have 2nd National Language of Finland module in their degree in Sisu. The content for this module varies based on students' language of education.

For those students who must complete National Language Requirement Tests in Swedish, there are two prepping Swedish courses available: 

  • LC-5410 Tekniikan alan ruotsia (3 ECTS) and 
  • LC-5411 Tekniikan alan ruotsia perusteellisesti (4 ECTS) 

These courses are offered throughout the academic year, and they are placed in Elective Studies if completed. These courses are not counted into the recommended timetables' total ECTS.

Students whose language of education is not Finnish or Swedish take the equivalent 2-3 credits worth of language studies in any language. LC-7210 Finnish 1 is strongly recommended. 

ECTS totals per semester and academic year

In the tables, the courses are divided into six (6) semesters. The goal for one (1) semester is 30 ECTS. Note that an elective, minor or optional major course represents 5 ECTS to simplify the tables. As all elective, minor or optional major courses may not be 5 ECTS in reality, this way of presenting the information leads in some cases to more than 180 ECTS per degree. Therefore, it may be better to aim to 60 ECTS per academic year than 30 ECTS in semester.
