Enrolment for attendance/non-attendance 2025-2026 and right to study 

Students have to enrol for attendance/non-attendance each academic year. Enroll as present or absent for the following academic (2025-2026) year in Peppi during 1 April – 13 June 2025.  Master student’s right to study is 6 semesters = 3 years. At the beginning of studies the statutory study time of 2 years is entered in the personal study plan (PSP). If the student's statutory study time has been fulfilled and the student is still attending the fourth semester, a one year's extension to complete student’s studies is automatically added to PSP. In this case, the study time in PSP is also updated from two years to three years.

The timetable for thesis workshops will be published on June’s Master info letter and in Master thesis website.
