Module specific information regarding the changes in the study plans
*****
General information
The current study plans will change as of 1.8.2023, and the new study plans are valid for the academic years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. The amount and nature of the changes varies between modules, but almost all students need to make some changes to their study plan in order to find and register for next year’s teaching, i.e. to be able to continue their studies. To find next year's teaching, you need to either update the whole module in your study plan, or individual courses within the module to the version 2023-2025.
Consider the following points when planning your studies for next year:
- From 1.8.2023 onwards, our course codes will be campus neutral, i.e. the -V and -E endings to course codes will disappear. Instead, all courses which previously had different codes for Helsinki and Vaasa will be united under one course code, and where the course is organised is instead visible under the “Completion methods” tab. When you register for the course, you select the campus alongside the completion method. Students in Helsinki select Helsinki or Helsinki & Vaasa, students in Vaasa select Vaasa or Helsinki & Vaasa.
- Changes vary between different modules, check what changes are taking place in your module in the tables below.
- You can either choose to continue following the current (2020-2023) study plan for your module, or transfer to the new one (2023-2025).
- Which version of the study plan you should choose depends on how far you’ve come in your studies, as well as your own preferences. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the upcoming changes before making your decision.
