The best way to see all the future implementations of the course, i.e. the groups, their schedules and additional information, is through the study guide. View the upcoming groups of the course through your degree structure or by using the search.

If several different groups are organised for a course included in your degree, enrol in the group that suits you best. As a rule, places are filled in the order of registration, group size on courses included in the degree max. 25 students.

  • Read the course description and additional implementation information before enrolling. Check the implementation schedule to ensure that the group is suitable for you.
  • Use Peppi, not Tuudo, for registration, so that course-specific information is displayed correctly.
