T-121 Courses

Starting from fall 2009, courses T-121.5*** will be given in English (except T-121.5200). The candidate level basic courses T-121.2100 and T-121.3110 will still be in Finnish, but can be taken in English as well.

If you have already taken some of the courses that the new T-121.5350 and T-121.5450 replace, here are some common advices:

• If you have taken T-121.5200, you can also take T-121.5350
• If you have taken T-121.5300, you can also take T-121.5450
• If you cannot take T-121.5350 and need as a compulsory course only a part of this course (e.g. T-121.5401), please contact senior lecturer Mika Nieminen for substitutive arrangements
• If you cannot take T-121.5450 and need as a compulsory course only a part of this course (e.g. T-121.5601), please contact senior lecturer Sirpa Riihiaho for substitutive arrangements
