Rights of admission

All university students have the right to take the basic module (25 credits) and intermediate module (up to 35 credits) in computer science, or the computer science courses included in the minor module in method sciences (up to 55 credits). Students have to apply for the right to more extensive modules.

You can apply for the right to take the intermediate module after you have completed the basic module in both computer science and your own major subject. You can apply to the advanced module when you have completed the basic and intermediate module in both computer science and you own major subject. To gain the application-based right to study you are usually required to have grade level at least 3/5 in computer science.  Unless the course requirement state differently, you need at least intermediate level study rights to participate in advanced-module courses.

Applications

The applications are processed by the department’s head of studies, Kjell Lemström.  Apply with this form (in Finnish) You can either fill in the form online or print and send it by post. The answer will be sent to the email address you give on the form.

Transferring to the computer science degree programme

Students in degree programmes for physics, geology, chemistry, mathematics,  or statistics can transfer to computer science by applying to the Faculty of Science for transferral of their degree programme. For more details on transferral of degree programmes, please see Flamma, or ask the department or faculty’s student counsellors.
