Study planning and course offering
As a university student, you are responsible for planning your studies and ensuring your academic progress.
By attending study guidance, you ensure that you receive all the important information related to your studies and student practices, helping your studies progress as smoothly as possible.
The starting point for planning your studies is the curriculum of your degree.
The curriculum defines certain constraints regarding the scope and content of the degree, such as the content, timing, and order of compulsory studies, as well as the amount of the elective courses.
The curriculum includes the degree structure as well as the contents, objectives, and prerequisite requirements of the courses.
Familiarize yourself with the curriculum at the beginning of your studies. You can find the curriculum in Metropolia’s Study Guide.
Degree programs have their own guidelines for recognising prior learning (RPL, fin. AHOT) and credit transfer. Read the instructions before filling a RPL application. The degree program provides information about the guidelines at the beginning of your studies.
Metropolia’s general guidelines can be found on the Accreditation of prior learning -page.
The curriculum and any recognized prior learning serve as the foundation for your personal study plan (PSP).
You can find your personal study plan in Metropolia's ePSP-service. You can log in to the ePSP-service using your Metropolia user accounts, which can be activated when your study rights begin (August 1 or January 1).
ePSP-service contains details such as approved personal study plan, recognized prior learning, completed courses, cross-institutional studies at partner universities, and course registration. However, not all courses or cross-institutional studies listed in ePSP-service are open for registration. For more details, see Course Offering and Registration Instructions.
You can also check your study progress and grades via the Tuudo app.
An approved ePSP -plan is a binding agreement, which can be updated within the limits of the curriculum and course offering. PSP is updated and approved depending on the degree program , for example, when a student begins major studies or returns after an absence. If returning from a period of absence, students must contact their degree program’s PSP advisor to update their study plan.
Your degree program will provide instructions on using ePSP-service and course registration instructions at the beginning of your studies.
