Course selection in mathematics and statistics

This page contains courses in mathematics and statistics that are taught during the current or upcoming academic year. NB! The contents of this page are being updated and it is based on preliminary information.
General instructions

Fall courses are published in Sisu and on the courses page at the end of June, and spring courses are published at the end of September. Check the latest information in Sisu.

In addition to the course lists below, you can search for courses on:

This page does not contain all mandatory courses required for graduation. For instance courses in communication, languages, digital skills, academic skills and professional skills are missing.

The course names are listed in the language of instruction. Note that you may be able to complete the course in a different language than the language of instruction. See this page for more information on language and studies.
Exams

Please note that you can also take exams in courses not found on Sisu by discussing with the responsible teacher beforehand.

Below you can find a listing of all courses lectured in the last two years for which you may negotiate an exam with the teacher.
