I need more information about exams
Some of the exams held at the university are organised by the centralised Exam services. The Exam services coordinate general exams which can be taken as traditional paper exams in Hervanta and the city centre campus. Registration for these general exams is done in Sisu. In addition, students can take electronic exams in the EXAM facilities. Note that each teacher determines the examination procedures for their own courses. Always check how the examinations are handled in your studies. Some courses may use alternative examination methods, such as using Moodle.
Browse the exam instructions! There, you can find the instructions on attending the general exams, using the EXAM facilities and obtaining special arrangements for your exams.
