Registering study modules
Study modules
Note! You must select your sub-programme by the start of your Master’s degree work in order to succeed at a well-planned MSc degree. You may change sub-programmes later. Let us know your choice by filling in the sub-programme selection form below and delivering it to the main teacher tutor of your chosen sub-programme (please find the name of the main teacher tutor in the FM-HOPS list).

Calculating the grades
- The grades (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) for modules are calculated as an average of the course grades included in the module, weighted by the number of credits.
- The grades for the MSc thesis and the minor-subject thesis correspond with the numerical grades as follows: l (5), ecl (5), mcl (4), cl (3), nsla (3), lub (2), a (2). The weight of the MSc or minor-subject thesis in the calculation of the grade for the advanced module is 15 credits.
- The average grade will be rounded to the nearest integer; e.g. an average of 1.5 will yield the grade 2/5, lower grades 1/5, etc.
Courses
Students do not need to apply for registration of individual courses, but the person in charge of the course (usually the lecturer) makes sure they are registered.
