Please note that if an exam is not yet available for the course code that interests you, you can negotiate a potential exam, its date and format with a teacher.
You can inquire about an exam possibility from:

  • the teacher who last taught the course's contents
  • the responsible teacher for the course.

Almost all courses at the department of mathematics and statistics can be completed by an exam.
The main exam formats are:

General examinations are paper exams organised in a certain place at a certain time. In academic year 2025-2026, the general examination dates are 17.9., 12.11., 10.12., 14.1., 11.2., 25.3., 15.4., 20.5. ja 17.6.
Regarding an examinarium exam, you can book your own exam date and a place for the electronic exam through the Examinarium system.
