TUT INTRODUCTION
Tampere University of Technology (TUT) conducts scientific research
in technology and architecture and provides higher education within
these fields. TUT is the only university in Finland focusing solely on
technology and has a lively campus of about 10 000 engineering and
architecture students.
TUT offers its students an opportunity for a broad, cross-disciplinary
education. Competent Masters of Science in Technology and
Architecture as well as Doctors of Science (Technology)/(Architecture)
and Doctors of Philosophy graduate from TUT to work in key branches
of industry, especially in the technology industries and in tasks related
to the built environment. In terms of student numbers, the largest
fields of study at TUT are information technology and electrical,
mechanical, automation and civil engineering.
TUT’s operations are founded on a combination of strong research
of natural sciences and technology and research related to industry
and business. Many research fields play a major role in addressing
global challenges, such as climate change and demographic ageing.
The most extensive and established of the international leading-edge
fields of research at TUT are signal processing, nanophotonics and
intelligent machines.
In addition to offering master’s degrees conducted entirely in English,
TUT has also striven to create favourable conditions for student
exchange. All the faculties offer at least some courses in English.
TUT currently cooperates (in student exchange) with 230 universities
around the world. Yearly about 250 students from TUT study abroad
and about 400 exchange undergraduates study at TUT. In addition,
about 160 new international students start their studies in the
international master’s programmes yearly.
Academic Calendar 2014–2015
At TUT, the academic year is divided into two semesters, the autumn
semester and the spring semester. There are four teaching periods
during an academic year and there is an examination week(s) at
the end of each period. The periods 1–2 take place in the autumn
semester and the periods 3–4 in the spring semester. The autumn
semester begins in late August/early September and ends at the end
of December. The spring semester starts in early January and ends
in late May.
During the summer period (except for the month of July) some courses
are lectured (mainly in Finnish) and there are some possibilities to
take examinations and do research work at the departments.

Studying
Enrolment
A new student must always accept his/her study place in the degree
programme by sending the Confirmation Form to TUT by the given
deadline.
All students studying at TUT are required to enrol for each academic
year either as attending or non-attending student. Enrolment is
important since students who have not enrolled by the given deadline
will forfeit their right to study at TUT.
Enrolment is usually done for an academic year at a time. Deadline
for the enrolment for the whole academic year in the academic year
2014–2015 is 3 September 2014. If a student will enrol as a nonattending student the student union membership fee is not necessary.
However a non-attending student cannot study or participate in
exams. A student may enrol as a non-attending student for maximum
of four semesters. Students who enrol for the whole academic year
after the deadline (3 September 2014) are charged an extra fee of 35
euros. Students who neglect the enrolment will lose their study right
and will be removed from the TUT study register and the study right
must be re-applied from the university.
To enrol students have to fill in the Enrolment Form, return it to the
International Office and pay the Student Union membership fee of
97,90 euros for the academic year 2014–2015 (or 48,95 euros for
a semester). The Student Union membership fee is compulsory for
all students, except for post-graduates (doctoral students) to whom
the Student Union membership is optional. The Student Union
membership fee is not a tuition fee and it entitles student to use the
services of Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS, in Finnish YTHS).
Orientation
The International Office organises an orientation for new students at
the beginning of the academic year. The orientation week takes place
late August before the start of the first teaching period.
Taking part in the orientation is compulsory for all new students.
Starting your studies without attending the orientation requires a lot of
initiative on your part and can be quite challenging.
Student Card
All members of the Student Union will get a student card. By showing
your student card, you will get various benefits such as discounts
at student restaurants, free basic medical treatment at the Finnish
Student Health Service (in Finnish YTHS) and 50 per cent discount
on train and coach tickets. In addition, you will get discounts on local
buses, pharmacies, museums, theatres, concerts and several shops.
Remember always to ask for a possible student discount.
Your student card also works as a library card at TUT and as a
rechargeable meal card at Juvenes restaurants at the university
campus. It is also a key card to TUT and to the computer laboratories.
With the key card function activated, you can enter TUT 24 hours/day.
To activate the key card function, you need to contact the information
desk at any building at TUT campus (except Tietotalo).
You will get your student card from the Student Union Office. The card
costs 7 euros, which is to be paid in cash when collecting your card.
Computer Services
After being registered at TUT, all students are given a TUT user
account, which contains a personal email address, some quota for
own files and web pages, and access to the personalized student
portal POP and the computers around the university.
All computers have a wide range of software (word processors,
spreadsheets, drawing packages, databases, math software, etc.).
Printers are also available in the computer classrooms. There is
at least one computer classroom with a printer in each building at
campus except the Festia building. All TOAS apartments have an
internet connection as well.
You will get your user account from the IT Helpdesk situated (Main
Building, 2nd Floor, Room: PC201D). Your email address will be most
likely of the form [email protected]. All the professors
and the International Office will use this email address when they
want to contact you. That is why it is very important that you check
your TUT email account regularly! Please note that you should use
your TUT email account for any correspondence with TUT staff.
If you want, you can also forward your TUT email to some other email
address at http://www.tut.fi/tiha/tunnus/en.
10
IT Security
Your TUT user account and its password are your access to the
services TUT offers to you. Your account is personal and you must
not let anyone else use it. You are the responsible for everything
done with your account. Thus, it is very important that you keep your
password safe. Do not tell your password to others. To review the
rules, regulations and your responsibilities, go to POP portal and see
Campus > IT Services. From IT Services pages, you can also change
your password when needed.
POP Portal
The POP portal (www.tut.fi/pop) is the personalized student portal
for TUT students. You can use the POP portal after having received
your TUT user account. The POP-portal is the toolbox and information
center for your studies and student life.
You will find the following sections in the POP-portal:
MAIN PAGE: You can read news and announcements as well as your
own reminders and to-do lists. There is also a calendar, which includes
your own notes, your course timetable and common activities.
STUDIES: You can, for example, see the course catalogue, see your
course results and sign up for courses and exams.
STUDY INFO: You can find information concerning study practicalities,
planning of your studies, graduation, regulations.
DOCTORAL STUDIES: You can find information on PhD studies at
TUT.
MY PROFILE: You can update your personal information here. You
can also enrol for a new academic year and pay the Student Union
membership fee.
PEOPLE SEARCH: You can search for students’ and personnel’s
contact information and add them in your contacts.
Personal Study Plan (PSP)
All students are required to prepare a personal study plan which
will be accepted by the student’s home Faculty. Personal study plan
(in Finnish HOPS) is made according to the degree programmes’
instructions with the online PSP tool which can be found from the
POP portal. Students need to use their TUT user account to logon
to PSP. More information about PSP (HOPS) can be found from the
POP portal.
Courses (= opintojakso)
The course descriptions can be found on the online course catalogue.
A link to the course catalogue (for the courses available in English)
can be found in the POP portal.
www.tut.fi/pop > In English > Studies > Study Guide and Sign-up
Course Codes
Course codes are marked before the name of the course (e.g. TIE02206 Basic course on programming). If the code ends with the
number 0–5, it means that the course is taught in Finnish. If the code
ends with the number 6, 7, 8 or 9, it means that the course is taught
in English.
Course Timetables
The international master’s degree programmes have the timetables
for the first year studies available in POP portal Study info > your own
faculty. By signing up for courses in the POP portal you will get the
detailed timetable for each course. You can also see your time tables
on your calendar in POP portal.
How to Sign up for Courses
All students need to sign up for courses in the personalized student
portal POP (www.tut.fi/pop > In English > Studies > Study Guide and
Sign-up). Please note that you will need your TUT user account to use
POP portal. The signing up for courses in the POP portal will close
two weeks prior to the beginning of each teaching period. Students
will be given instructions on how to sign up for courses during the
orientation. In case you have problems with the course sign-up please
contact the course lecturer.
11
Course Grading
The courses will be graded within one month of the date of completing
the course. Grades will be published at the Faculties’ notice board
and they can also be found from the POP portal (www.tut.fi/pop >
Studies > My study records).
If you suspect a mistake in you grading you can ask rectification either
orally or in writing from the lecturer whom graded the exam. More
information can be found from the Degree Regulations at end of this
guide.
Course Feedback
TUT aims at continuous development of teaching. Feedback is
collected after every course. Students submit feedback on courses
through the Kaiku system that they access via POP > Studies >
Studies. The credits that a student earns for completing a course
will be entered into the Academic Records only after the student has
submitted feedback through the Kaiku course feedback system.
You can send feedback on the course implementation rounds that you
have signed up for. Teachers comment on the feedback that they have
received by entering a response to the Kaiku system. Kaiku offers
students a direct avenue for providing feedback on both individual
courses and course offerings in the departments. As of autumn 2014,
teachers will also be obligated to respond to the feedback they receive
from students. This will encourage open dialogue and more active
interaction between teachers and students. For more information,
please go to POP > Study Info > Quality of education > Course
feedback
Grading and Credit System at Tampere University of
Technology
The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is based on the student
workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme, objectives
preferably specified in terms of learning outcomes and competences
to be acquired. One TUT credit equals to one ECTS credit.
Studies at TUT are evaluated on a scale excellent (5), very good (4),
good (3), very satisfactory (2) and satisfactory or approved (1) and fail
(0). For special reasons studies may be evaluated on a pass/fail basis.
1 credit at TUT refers to an input of approximately 27 hours of
work, which consists of lecture hours, exercises and other forms of
instruction, as well as independent work. Full course load for the
whole academic year is approximately 60 credits and for one semester
approximately 30 credits.

Registration of Grades and Transcript of Records
All grades will be entered in the TUT study register. Official transcripts
(that bear the university stamp) either in English or Finnish can be
obtained at the International Office or the Student Services office. If
needed, you can also get a confirmation of your attendance, i.e. a
certificate of enrolment. The certificate of enrolment is also available
in Finnish and in English.
Methods of Instruction
Signing up for the Exams
You are required to sign up for exams through the POP portal at least
seven (7) days beforehand. You cannot participate into exams without
a sign-up. Only the answer papers of those students who have signed
up for the examination will be forwarded to the lecturer for grading.
In problem situations, you need to contact the Faculty arranging the
exam. See the contact persons and more info www.tut.fi/pop > Study
info > Studying at TUT > Sign up for examinations.
Course requirements may vary depending on the course. Some
courses are lecture-based and there is an examination at the end of
the course. In addition to lectures, a course may include problemsolving exercises (laskuharjoitus), individual or group design work
(suunnitteluharjoitus) or laboratory work (laboratorioharjoitus).
Therefore it is important that you attend the opening lectures to
find out details about course arrangements and requirements for
completing the course (obligatory exercises, assignments, exact
timetable, exams and other details).
The lectures at TUT start usually quarter past, and they last for 45
minutes. Between lectures, there is a 15-minute-break, though it is
common to skip it in 2-hour-lectures.
Cancelling Your Sign-up for an Exam
E-learning Platforms
In the Examination
There are different e-learning platforms in use at TUT. The most
commonly used are A&O, Idle and Moodle. In some courses all the
teaching and learning occurs through e-learning platform (i.e. online
courses) but in most courses the e-learning platform is used merely
for distributing the course materials and instructions regarding course
arrangements. More information about the possible use of e-learning
platform during a course is usually given in first lecture.
Examinations (=tentti)
There are four examination periods during the academic year. A
possibility to take an exam of a certain course will be arranged at
least three times. Students are entitled to attempt an exam forming
a part of the same course not more than three times, regardless of
whether earlier attempts were passes or fails. The highest grade will
be considered when giving the overall grade for the course.
If you cannot attend the exam please remember to cancel in time. You
will be considered to have taken the exam, if you do not cancel your
sign-up at least three (3) working days before the exam. This time
period does not include the day of the exam or the day of cancellation.
Bear in mind that if you neglect to cancel your exam sign-up, it counts
as one opportunity to take the exam.
Duration of the Exams
The exams usually last for 3 hours, and they start exactly at the hour,
not quarter past. During the first 30 minutes, you are not permitted
to leave the room.
Students may only take writing utensils (pencils, eraser, ruler, pencil
sharpener) and photo identification to their desk in the examination
room. In many exams, a calculator is also required. In general, the
calculator may not be programmable. Notification of exceptions to
this rule will be given separately. Personal belongings such as bags,
jackets, mobile phones (remember to switch it off!) must be left by the
wall of the examination room.
When you are handed an exam paper and the answer papers, make
sure that the exam paper is the right one, as there may be several
different exams at the same time in the same lecture room. You will
need to write your name and student number on every answer paper.
Papers without names will not be marked. If other materials are
permitted in the exam, this will be separately announced.
You will be asked to present a proof of identity (a student card or a
pictorial identity card) when handing in your answer papers. The basic
13
rule is that nothing may be taken out of the examination room which
was not brought in. You will need to hand in your answer papers even
if they contain no answers.
Studies in Other Finnish Universities
The lecturer in charge of the course is required to forward the results
to the study register within one month of the date of the exam.
Students have a right to get feedback about their exam answers from
the lecturer in charge.
In most programmes you can do one minor (approx. 25 credits) in
some other Finnish university. Studies must form a module which
can be accepted as a part of students personal study plan (PSP).
Final acceptance regarding studies made outside TUT is made by the
Dean. The JOO-flexible study right agreement between the Finnish
Universities provides students with a possibility to study in some other
Finnish University courses which later will be included into the Degree
that is to be completed at TUT.
Cheating
Time Limits for a Master’s Degree Completion
Marking of the Exams
Cheating in examinations is strictly forbidden! If an invigilator suspects
cheating s/he may issue the student with a verbal warning, which
will be entered on the student’s answer paper for the information of
the lecturer. An examination paper will be disqualified if a student
has acted dishonestly in the examination. Cheating may result even
in losing one’s study right. For more information on Regulations on
examinations please visit www.tut.fi/pop > Study Info > Studying at
TUT > Examinations. Regulations on examinations can also be found
from the end of this guide.
Plagiarism
Mentioning the original source of information and ideas for example
in one’s essays, assignments, exercises and thesis is a requirement
for all. Plagiarism is strictly forbidden and is a punishable act! When
plagiarism is discovered the work (e.g. essay, assignment) itself will be
disqualified and the whole course can be disqualified. Plagiarism may
result even in losing one’s study right. When using some else’s work
as a source you should always make a quotation. Each department
at TUT have their own instructions on how to make quotations, thus
you should ask your department at TUT for advice to avoid any
misunderstandings.
Finnish Language Courses
International students have the possibility to take Finnish language
courses at the TUT Language Centre (Konetalo building, 2nd floor).
Please contact the Language Centre for more information on courses
in the Finnish language. It is highly recommendable for international
degree students to take Finnish language courses.
The Finnish Universities Act (effective since 1 August 2005) imposes
time limits for completing the lower university degree (Bachelor of
Science in Technology) and the higher university degree (Master of
Science in Technology/Architecture). The time limits apply to students
who accepted their place at the University in or after autumn 2005.
The time limits do not apply to students who accepted their place
before 1 August 2005. Students must monitor their progress to ensure
that they graduate within the maximum time limits.
The normative time for completing a master’s degree is two years.
Education at the University must be arranged so as to ensure that
students can complete their degrees within this deadline. If a student
already holds a bachelor’s degree and is admitted to the University
to directly pursue the degree of Master of Science in Technology/
Architecture, his/her normative time-to-degree is two years. However,
these students have four years to complete their degrees without
applying for an extension.
An absence of no more than two years (four semesters) will not count
toward the time-to-degree, if the student has enrolled as absent.
Students can enrol as absent for two years without giving a specific
reason. An absence that exceeds two years is counted toward the
student’s time-to-degree. This does not, however, apply to absences
prescribed by law, such as Finnish military service, voluntary military
service or maternity, paternity or parental leave. As applied here, the
term parental leave only refers to parental leave defined in legislation
and not, for example, childcare leave. Students must enrol as absent
and present a certificate (for example, a military passport, child’s
birth certificate, decision by the Finnish Social Insurance Institution
KELA), if they are on leave due to the above reasons. The certificate of
absence is submitted to TUT’s Student Services.
14
Students are required to enrol either as present or absent at the
University. If a student fails to enrol, he/she will be considered absent.
Absences that exceed the maximum two-year time limit will reduce
the time left for degree completion.
Graduation
After the student has completed all the required studies, including
the Master’s thesis, s/he can submit an application for the degree
certificate together with the application to have the thesis evaluated
by the faculty council. The application for degree certificate and the
required attachments must be delivered to the faculty office at least
14 days before the meeting of the faculty council.
The official day of graduation is the day when the dean approves
the degree. Degree certificates are handed out by the President of
the University at a graduation ceremony. Graduation ceremonies are
arranged every month except the month of July.

OTHER ISSUES RELATED
TO STUDIES AND TUT
Student Guidance
General student guidance is intended to answer questions related
to starting studies, visiting studies, training and employment, open
university or student admission. If you don’t know where to ask the
student councellor is a good option. Student councellor Heli Lukkari
(Ms) can be found in room PC202.
Degree-programme-specific guidance is intended for questions
related to studies in the degree programme or faculty and practical
arrangements. International coordinators serve in each faculty.
Study Counselling Psychologist
A student who wishes to clear his/her study motivation or develop own
study skills can seek counselling from study counselling psychologist.
Please note that the study counselling psychologist can’t help you
with the planning of your studies.
Library (kirjasto)
The University Library is located in the Main Building. An introduction
to the library and borrowing is given during the orientation. TUT
students can use the student card as library card. The student card
has to be activated at the first time one wants to borrow a book.
TUT library brings together library and information services with a wide
range of information resources. The digital sources include electronic
journals, e-books and databases. Currently the library has a collection
of over 25 000 electronic journals including journals from all the wellknown publishers. Library has also over 100 000 e-books, including
handbooks, and dictionaries, encyclopedias, patents and standards
from different fields. Library’s digital sources can be accessed via the
University network, http://www.tut.fi/library
Print collections comprise approximately 125 000 volumes, mainly
in science and technology. The lending collection may be used on
the premises or taken on loan. Borrowing is free of charge. The loan
period is 5 weeks, or 2 weeks for textbooks marked with a yellow tag.
Loan period for theses and journals published before the previous
year is 2 weeks. Journals published this or last year are only for use
in the Library.
Loans may be renewed if there are no reservations for that particular

STRUCTURE OF THE DEGREE PROGRAMMES
Extent of the Degree Programmes
The extent of the degree programmes taken by students is given
in credits (in Finnish opintopiste, op). 1 TUT credit equals to 1
ECTS credit. One credit at TUT refers to approximately 27 hours of
effective work which, in practice, comprises lectures, exercises and
independent work.
Bachelor of Science in Technology
At TUT Bachelor of Science in Technology degree was introduced
August 1, 2005. Extent of a BSc degree is 180 credits and it takes
about three years to complete it. At TUT there are 13 bachelor’s
degree programmes which are offered only in Finnish. After obtaining
BSc diploma Finnish students continue to pursue MSc in the chosen
field.
Master of Science in Technology
The graduate degree awarded by TUT is the Master of Science in
Technology. It is estimated that the studies can be completed in
two years by taking 60 credits a year, giving a total of 120 credits.
The degree consists of studies in general subjects (such as Natural
Sciences, Languages and Economics), professional engineering
subjects and a Master’s thesis.
Master of Science in Architecture
The graduate degree awarded in the Master’s Degree Programme
in Architecture corresponds to the Finnish degree of “Arkkitehti”
and confers eligibility to work as an architect in Finland and other
EU countries (according to the 2005/36/EC EU Directive) or to apply
for admission to doctoral studies. The degree prepares graduates to
pursue a wide range of career opportunities as professional architects
and in research. The studies consist of professional architecture
studies, major studies oriented towards sustainable architecture and
a Master’s thesis.
22
Minor Studies
Students select a subject study module (minor) from among the
alternatives offered on their own degree programmes.
Elective Studies
Elective studies is not a compulsory degree module as such but a
label for courses, which cannot be included into any other degree
module, or prerequisite studies, the knowledge of which is required or
recommended to have before taking a more advanced course.
Numbering After the Name of the Course
The numbers I-V refer to the recommended year of studies for
completing the course (IV = 1st year of Master’s, V = 2nd year of
Master’s).
Master’s Thesis
Doctor of Science in Technology / Architecture
Postgraduate studies (i.e. post MSc) for the Doctor of Science in
Technology / Architecture degree require 40 credits plus a dissertation
and its presentation for public examination and criticism. The Finnish
Doctor of Science degree is equivalent to a PhD in many other
countries.
Study Modules
The Master’s degree programmes consist of the following study
modules.
Common Core Studies
Typically the module provides an introduction to the field as well
as necessary theoretical skills to follow the courses in the degree
programme. The content and extent of common core studies module
vary between the degree programmes.
Major Studies
Students address a major upon their admission. The major studies
give student a wide knowledge on the subject. The Master’s thesis is
written on the field of the major.
The Master’s thesis is an extensive treatise, which trains the student
for independent study and research, mastery of scientific methods, the
convention of references, and the scientific mode of presentation in a
good literary form. The thesis is conducted and written independently,
yet under the supervision of a professor from the same discipline. The
Master’s thesis is a research project which requires approximately 6
months of work and it is worth 30 ECTS credits.
In connection with the thesis, the student has to write a proficiency
test, which is an essay written on a topic related to the thesis. The
test demonstrates the student’s command of the thesis topic. The
guide for thesis writing contains instructions for students writing their
Master´s thesis. The guide can be found form http://www.tut.fi/pop >
Study Info > Master’s Thesis. The master’s thesis and proficiency test
will be entered into students’ academic records using the following
codes: OPN-9000 Master’s thesis (30 cr) and TUT-8930 Proficiency
test (0 cr).
Additional Information
If two degree study modules contain common compulsory courses,
these courses are included in both modules but the credits are
counted only once. However, common elective studies of different
modules can be included in one of them only.
As there may be annual changes in the curriculum requirements,
students are not allowed to mix the requirements from different years.

Learning outcomes
-The extended advanced study module in Mathematics is intended to
give the student an exceptionally solid knowledge of the foundations
of mathematics for research, post-graduate studies and other further
training, and especially applications in industry and elsewhere. The
studies therefore should be focused on at least two of the main
three areas: Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, and Mathematical
and Semantic Modelling. Studies in the Analysis focus area mainly
deal with functional analysis and its applications, and measure
and integration theory. This area lends itself nicely to mathematics
itself and the more theoretical engineering sciences. The main
topics then are measure and integration, functional analysis and its
applications, and geometric algebra. Discrete Mathematics is mainly
mathematics needed in modelling algorithmics, data communication,
and symbolical calculation. Applications of the old areas of number
theory, logic and algebra will be included, too. The focus area aims
at a comprehensive overview. By proper choice of courses any one
of these areas may be emphasized. Mathematical and Semantic
Modelling, together with various computational methods (e.g.
simulation, optimization and visualization) has a central role in the
investigation of many fields of science, and also in high-tech product
development. The goal of modelling is to build a sufficiently detailed
mathematical model, the solution of which then usually requires heavy
numerical computation. Studies in this focus area provide the student
with a broad mathematical know-how for modelling incoming multidiscipline phenomena, and developing advanced solution methods.

Learning Outcomes
-The advanced study module in Mathematics is intended to give
the student a solid knowledge of the foundations of mathematics
for research, post-graduate studies and other further training, and
especially applications in industry and elsewhere. The studies
may be focused on one of the main three areas: Analysis, Discrete
Mathematics, and Mathematical and Semantic Modelling. Studies
in the Analysis focus area mainly deal with functional analysis and
its applications, and measure and integration theory. This area
lends itself nicely to mathematics itself and the more theoretical
engineering sciences. The main topics then are measure and
integration, functional analysis and its applications, and geometric
algebra. Discrete Mathematics is mainly mathematics needed
in modelling algorithmics, data communication, and symbolical
calculation. Applications of the old areas of number theory, logic and
algebra will be included, too. The focus area aims at a comprehensive
overview. By proper choice of courses any one of these areas may
be emphasized. Mathematical and Semantic Modelling, together
with various computational methods (e.g. simulation, optimization

Signal processing covers the analysis, filtering and interpretation of
various types of signals, including images and video. Signal processing
methods are often embedded in devices and some software systems.
It is advisable to obtain good programming skills in order to be able
to apply signal processing methods to such systems. Co-operation
with other developers requires also communication, presentation
and negotiation skills, as well as project management and leadership
skills. The industry is interested in innovative engineers and therefore
all self-invented hands-on experimentation with signals and images is
highly advisable. Aside from the courses listed, to complete this major,
the students are required to complete the two following courses (either
finnish or english versions): Finnish: TST-01300 Diplomityöseminaari
(1cr) and TST-01400 Diplomityöseminaariesitys (0 cr) or English:

In general, Smart Grid is an enabler of energy-efficient and
environmentally friendly energy market and critical infrastructure
for society. The smart solutions will connect information technology
and communication technology to the electricity infrastructure. The
major studies provide thorough knowledge of Smart Grids, addressing
in-depth some of the underlying areas such as active network
management, the integration of distributed energy resources and
the enabling FACTS technology. Power electronics plays a key role
in the integration of the so-called distributed energy resources into
the smart grid – distributed renewable sources of generation such
as solar and hydrogen cells, wind turbines, controllable loads and
electric vehicles. Distribution automation and ICT solutions for active
network management provide the foundation for the overall target of
smart grids to enable energy-efficient and environmentally friendly
energy markets aiming at a secure infrastructure for the benefit of
society. Study module can be carried out also with 50 cp, and then
Minor subject is not required. Smart Grid major is also available

Learning and intelligent methods refer to the methods which can be
used to carry out tasks which require a certain kind of intelligence
such as pattern recognition (classification), prediction and the
analysis of various signals. Such properties are needed for example
in the machines and devices which function independently or in
the analysis of ‘big data’. Neurocomputing and fuzzy logic are two
known examples of learning and intelligent methods. One central use
area of learning and intelligent methods is signal processing and its
applications. The minor subject of learning and intelligent systems

CHAPTER 3
TIME LIMIT TO DEGREE COMPLETION, STUDY PLANS AND CERTIFICATES
10 § Time limit to degree completion and requests for extension
Sections 40–43 of the Universities Act impose time limits for the
completion of the lower and higher university degree and contain
provisions that restrict the duration of a student’s right to study at the
University.
The normative time-to-degree is three academic years for students
pursuing a bachelor’s degree and two academic years for students
pursuing a master’s degree. The duration of studies is counted from
the day when a student accepts a place in a bachelor’s or master’s
programme at the University.
Students admitted to pursue both the lower and higher university
degree shall have the right to complete the degrees in a time
exceeding the aggregate normative duration of studies by a maximum
of two years. Students may therefore take a total of seven years to
complete the degrees Bachelor of Science in Technology and Master
of Science in Technology/Architecture. Students who are admitted
to pursue the higher university degree only shall have the right to
complete the degree in a time exceeding the aggregate normative
duration of studies by a maximum of two years, meaning that the
studies may take no longer than four years.
The duration of studies shall not include non-attendance due to
conscription, voluntary military service, non-military service, or
maternity, paternity or parental leave. In addition, non-attendance
that lasts for a maximum of four semesters shall not count towards
the time-to-degree, if the student has enrolled as non-attending. The
length of time when a student is not enrolled at the University shall be
considered non-attendance.
A student who does not complete the degree within the time limit
referred to in Section 41 of the Universities Act must request for
an extension. In the request, the student must present a goaloriented and feasible degree completion plan and schedule and list
the courses that he or she is planning to take. The precondition for
granting an extension shall be that the student is able to complete
the studies within a reasonable amount of time. When considering
the request, the University shall take the student’s situation in life into
consideration.
A student who does not complete the degree within the prescribed
time limit or within the granted extension or who has not been granted
an extension shall lose the right to study at the University. If such a
student wishes to start or resume the studies later on, he or she must
apply for readmission (558/2009, 43 §). A student who no longer has
the right to study at the University may complete the missing courses
through the Open University. His or her right to study at the University
shall be reinstated after all the studies included in the degree, with the
exception of the thesis, have been completed.
Full-time postgraduate students may take four years to complete their
degree. For part-time students degree completion may take longer.
However, it should not take more than eight years to complete a
postgraduate degree.
11 § Personal Study Plan
Students shall prepare a separate Personal Study Plan (PSP) for each
degree. The PSP shall specify the study modules and courses that
students intend to complete and their schedule. The PSP must be
approved by the faculty.
A student shall have the right to complete his or her degree in
accordance with the approved PSP. In case the study modules or
courses included in the original PSP are changed, a new PSP must
be prepared and submitted for approval. The University shall ensure

A student pursuing the lower or higher university degree may request
a transfer to another degree programme or change of specialization.
The new degree programme must lead to the same degree (Master
of Science in Technology or Architecture) as the student’s original
degree programme.
When a student transfers to a different degree programme, he or she
shall prepare a new Personal Study Plan (PSP) that corresponds to
the requirements of the new degree programme or specialization.
If a student pursuing a bachelor’s degree transfers to a different
degree programme or changes his or her specialization, the degree
programme or specialization will remain the same at the master’s
level.
The faculty may restrict the number of students admitted to different
degree programmes.
After a student has satisfied all the requirements specified for his or
her degree programme, he or she shall receive a degree certificate
from the University.
Students shall receive the degree certificate and appendices in Finnish
and in English and a Diploma Supplement in English. The Diploma
Supplement is especially intended for international use. It includes
information on the degree conferred on the student, the University
that conferred the degree and the Finnish education system.
Students shall receive the degree certificate and appendices listed
above only after they have fulfilled all their obligations to the University
and the Student Union.
Upon request, the University shall provide students with transcripts of
their academic records while their studies are still in progress.
13 § Accreditation and recognition of prior learning
Students may, as determined by the University, claim credit for
studies that they have completed in some other Finnish or foreign
university or other educational establishment and substitute studies
included the degree syllabus with other studies of the same level.
Students may, as determined by the University, have knowledge and
skills attested in some other manner counted towards the degree or
substitute studies included in the degree syllabus with knowledge and
skills attested in some other manner. (558/2009, 44 §)

completed outside TUT.
Students who obtain a double degree must complete at least 30
credits, not including the thesis, at TUT.
15 § Graduation with distinction
A student may graduate with distinction, if his or her weighted, nonrounded cumulative grade point average (GPA) is 4.00 or higher and
the grade of the bachelor’s or master’s thesis is either Very good (4) or
Excellent (5). A student who completes a bachelor’s degree shall be
eligible for graduation with distinction, if the time-to-degree is no more
than four academic years. A student who completes both a bachelor’s
and master’s degree is eligible for graduation with distinction, if
the combined time-to-degree is no more than six academic years.
A student who was admitted to pursue only a master’s degree at
the University shall be eligible for graduation with distinction, if the
time-to-degree is no more than five semesters. The target time for
completing possible supplementary studies is not included in this
time period.
If the degree includes studies completed outside the University, the
candidate must have completed at least half of the studies counted
towards the degree, including the thesis, at TUT to remain eligible
for graduation with distinction. Courses that are graded on a scale of
Pass/Fail shall not be included in the calculation of the GPA.
