Planning your studies in Sisu

You build your own, individual study plan which helps you to define your studies as a whole. Well planned studies are a key to successful studies.

You can view your degree structure and information on courses and study modules in Sisu once you’ve made a HOPS study plan. Your study plan automatically shows the courses and study modules that are compulsory, i.e. those you are required to complete in order to graduate. For your elective (optional) studies module, you can freely choose courses that interest you.

If you want to discuss your plans with someone, you can always contact the planning officer of your programme (see Contact).  All students will be also assigned a personal study/teacher tutor. You can contact your tutor if you want to discuss for example your studies, career plans, thesis topic etc.

Sisu

In Sisu you can plan your studies, register for courses, and submit your request for graduation.
