Courses for exchange students at Tampere University

Tampere University offers a wide range of English‑taught courses for exchange students at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. Before submitting your exchange application, you will need to prepare a preliminary study plan based on the courses available to you. This page provides an overview of the key steps for the application and preparation stages - exploring available courses, understanding teaching periods, and creating a realistic preliminary study plan for your exchange.

You can browse the course offering in detail through the Curriculum, where the Target Group: Exchange Students filter helps you identify courses that are open to you. As you explore the options, take time to familiarise yourself with each course’s completion methods, prerequisites, language of instruction and teaching period. Understanding how the academic year is organised into the autumn (periods I–II) and spring (periods III–IV) teaching periods will also help you assess whether individual courses fit your planned timetable. Because the curriculum for the following academic year is usually published in summer, your initial selections may need to be based on the current or previous year’s course information. The sections below provide more guidance on interpreting completion methods, navigating teaching periods, understanding registration timelines and programme‑specific expectations, and shaping a realistic preliminary study plan for your exchange application.
