University of Oulu Electronics Master's Thesis Guide: 521977S, 30 ECTS, 521362S Seminar, 521011S Maturity Test and Laturi

Quick answer: what Electronics students need to know

For the current 2026-2027 University of Oulu Electronics programme, the Master’s thesis is 521977S Master’s Thesis / Master’s Degree Programme in Electronics, course object 19582, worth 30 ECTS and graded 1-5/FAIL. The current implementation is 521977S-3002. The thesis module also includes 521362S Electronics and Communications Engineering Seminar, which is a mandatory 0 ECTS seminar presentation for Electronics students whose Master’s PSP follows the 2015-or-newer study structure, and 521011S Maturity Test for Master’s Degree, Electronics and Communications Engineering, worth 0 ECTS, with current implementation 521011S-3006. The current Electronics process uses Laturi for thesis workflow, an E-exam in Examinarium for the maturity test, and Peppi for registration and graduation-related records. These are current 2026-2027 rules and objects, so a 2027-2030 recheck is required before treating them as definitive for students beginning under the next curriculum period.

1. What this guide covers

This guide is specifically for the University of Oulu international Master’s programme in Electronics. It does not cover Computer Science and Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Wireless Communications Engineering, or Business Analytics even when those programmes use some of the same University systems. The purpose is to explain the exact current Electronics thesis object, the seminar and maturity requirements around it, the supervisory and evaluation process, and the research-method choices that are realistic for the three Electronics specialisations.

The guide follows the current public 2026-2027 programme structure and University instructions. Where a rule is programme-specific, the Electronics or Electronics and Communications Engineering process controls. Where a public source does not establish a precise number or requirement, this guide keeps the boundary explicit rather than inventing a detail.

2. Exact programme object

The current Peppi programme object is 51686, with programme code IMP2026ELECTRONICS and the title Electronics (MSc.,tech), International Programme 2026-2027. The University advertises this international Master’s route as a two-year Master of Science (Technology) programme with a scope of 120 ECTS. The programme page currently gives 7-21 January 2027 as the next application period.

Students may notice broader 300-credit accounting in some Peppi accomplishment structures. That does not mean this international Master’s itself is a 300 ECTS Master’s programme. For guide purposes, the correct student-facing scope of the international Master’s route is 120 ECTS, while Peppi may represent the wider technology-degree architecture differently.

3. Exact thesis object

The exact current Electronics thesis is 521977S Master’s Thesis / Master’s Degree Programme in Electronics, course object 19582, worth 30 ECTS. It is classified as Advanced Studies, its primary teaching language is English, and the current assessment scale is 1-5/FAIL. The current implementation is 521977S-3002.

The course learning outcomes emphasise creative problem solving, the use of disciplinary methods, recognition of the strengths and limitations of methods across disciplines, and development of self-management and professional identity. These outcomes are useful when planning a thesis because the thesis should not be only a technical build. It should demonstrate a reasoned problem definition, suitable methods, evidence-based evaluation, and a defensible interpretation of results.

4. Exact seminar object

The current thesis module contains 521362S Electronics and Communications Engineering Seminar, course object 10982. Its credit value is 0 ECTS, the assessment is PASS/FAIL, and the current implementation is 521362S-3008. For Electronics students whose Master’s PSP follows the 2015-or-newer degree structure, the seminar presentation is mandatory.

The student gives a thesis presentation of about 30 minutes including questions and discussion. The course also states that participation in three other seminars can produce one optional credit unit. That optional attendance credit must not be confused with the mandatory thesis presentation itself. The current thesis presentation is therefore best understood as a mandatory 0 ECTS seminar presentation, not as an extra mandatory credited thesis course.

5. Exact maturity-test object

The exact current maturity course is 521011S Maturity Test for Master’s Degree, Electronics and Communications Engineering, course object 4157, worth 0 ECTS and assessed PASS/FAIL. The current implementation is 521011S-3006. The maturity test is evaluated and approved by the thesis supervisor and can be completed when the thesis is complete or being finished.

The course describes a controlled written event on a topic provided by the supervisor, approximately three pages in length. Current Electronics process instructions operationalise this through a supervisor-created E-exam in Examinarium, and the student should also register for the maturity test in Peppi. The exact language requirement depends on the student’s statutory language situation, so the course language list should not be treated as a universal choice without checking the individual requirement.

6. Programme structure

The Electronics programme combines advanced electronics studies with a 30 ECTS thesis module. Its public programme page describes a strong connection between theoretical knowledge, practical electronics development and the University’s research environment. The curriculum is organised around research and development capabilities rather than around one single type of thesis methodology.

This matters because an Electronics thesis can be simulation-heavy, measurement-heavy, prototype-based, materials-oriented, biomedical, or a combination. The research question, method and evaluation evidence must therefore be aligned with the chosen specialisation and the actual claim the thesis is trying to make.

7. The three specialisations

The current programme has three specialisation options: Electronics Design, Electronics Materials and Components, and Future Electronics and Measurement Techniques. The programme explains that mandatory courses of one specialisation may sometimes be used as electives in another, so students can broaden their technical profile.

The thesis topic does not need to repeat a course assignment, but it should fit the student’s competence and the expertise available for supervision. A strong thesis normally sits at the intersection of a defined engineering problem, a suitable methodological toolkit, and a supervisor who can evaluate the work in the relevant field.

8. Electronics Design

Electronics Design focuses on analog and digital circuits and systems, especially integrated-circuit design and verification. Current coursework includes Electronic Circuit Design Theory, Methods and Tools, Electronics Design II, Electronics Design III, Physical Design of Digital Integrated Circuits, RF Components and Measurements and related design subjects.

Typical thesis directions can include analog or mixed-signal circuit design, digital IC implementation, data-converter architecture, low-power electronics, embedded systems, RF blocks, verification methodology, or design automation. The thesis still needs a research or engineering question and explicit evaluation criteria. A successful simulation or tape-out-style design alone does not automatically demonstrate the contribution.

9. Electronics Materials and Components

Electronics Materials and Components focuses on materials, processes, structures and component technologies. Current studies include Electronics Materials, Introduction to Nanotechnology, Electronic Sensors, Microelectronics Packaging Technologies, Printed Electronics and related laboratory or project work.

Thesis questions in this area often connect a material or fabrication choice to measurable performance. Examples include electrical properties, thermal behaviour, sensor response, packaging reliability, RF performance, manufacturability or sustainability. The method section should make the sample preparation, fabrication conditions, measurement setup and uncertainty sources reproducible enough for the claims being made.

10. Future Electronics and Measurement Techniques

Future Electronics and Measurement Techniques focuses on measurement systems, printed electronics, photonics, biomedical measurement and related technologies. Current programme options include Measurement Systems, Wireless Measurements, Electronic Sensors, Biomedical Instrumentation, Biosignal Processing and other specialised measurement subjects.

A thesis in this area may design or validate a sensing system, build a measurement chain, evaluate wireless measurement performance, develop a biomedical instrument, or process measured biosignals. Because the evidence is often experimental, the student should plan calibration, reference measurements, uncertainty, repeatability and analysis procedures before collecting the final data.

11. Choosing a thesis topic

Current Electronics and Communications Engineering instructions allow thesis topics to come from companies, research institutes, the University, or the student’s own interests. A good topic is narrow enough to be investigated within the thesis period but substantial enough to require advanced engineering judgement.

Before committing to a topic, define the central problem, the expected output, the data or measurements needed, and how success will be evaluated. If the topic comes from a company, separate the company’s product objective from the academic thesis question. The thesis must still be assessable as University work even when the practical motivation is industrial.

12. Finding a supervisor

After obtaining a topic, the student contacts the person responsible for the relevant study field. Current instructions state that the proposed supervisor should come from the University’s full-time teaching or research staff, hold a Doctor of Technology degree, and satisfy the stated prior thesis-examiner or supervisor experience condition.

The public instructions identify responsible persons for fields such as Electronic Materials and Components, Electronic Design and Photonics and Measurement Technology. Students should use the current live list rather than relying on an old name saved from an earlier year, because responsibilities can change.

13. Kick-off discussion

The kick-off discussion is an important control point. Current Electronics/ECE guidance says the meeting should define the topic more precisely, consider a possible technical supervisor, establish the schedule, agree how supervision will be implemented, and review the assessment criteria.

Use this meeting to convert a broad idea into a bounded project. Agree what the thesis will deliver, which evidence is essential, what access to equipment or data is needed, and how frequently supervision will occur. It is also the right time to identify confidentiality, ethics, data-management or safety issues that could otherwise delay the work later.

14. Technical supervisor for external work

A technical supervisor is always appointed when the thesis is carried out outside the University, and may also be used in other cases when needed. This person can be important when a company or research partner controls the equipment, development environment or technical context of the work.

The technical supervisor does not replace the University’s academic thesis process. The University’s supervisor, examiners and Degree Programme Committee retain the roles defined by the University. For external work, current instructions also provide a client or technical-supervisor evaluation form that can contribute information to the academic evaluation process.

15. Starting the thesis in Laturi

The student starts the thesis process in Laturi by entering the initial thesis information. The student invites the main supervisor and any other supervisors. The main supervisor is responsible for inviting the examiners, while programme approvers are handled within the University’s process.

Do not treat Laturi as a final-upload-only service. It is part of the workflow from thesis initiation through research-plan approval, supervision, plagiarism checking, evaluation and publication transfer. Starting the correct process early reduces the risk that an otherwise finished thesis is missing administrative approvals.

16. Research plan

Once the supervisor has accepted the invitation and the programme has confirmed the people involved, the student can submit the research plan in Laturi. The supervisor must approve it. The current Electronics instructions do not justify inventing a universal fixed page count for every research plan, so the student’s live programme instructions and supervisor guidance should control the exact format.

A useful research plan should state the problem, objectives or research questions, technical context, methods, data or measurements, expected outputs, evaluation strategy, schedule and major risks. For experimental work, include the equipment, calibration or reference approach and likely uncertainty sources. For design work, define the design constraints and validation criteria before implementation begins.

17. Writing guidelines and templates

The practical work and manuscript are written under the guidance of the supervisors and according to the current Electronics/ECE thesis-writing instructions. The University provides current writing guidance and Word or LaTeX templates through the programme process.

Use the current template rather than copying formatting from an old thesis. Formatting is only one part of quality, but using the official structure early makes it easier to manage figures, tables, references, appendices and the final PDF/A submission. The technical narrative should make the logic of the work traceable from problem to method to evidence to conclusion.

18. Make the method match the claim

The strongest methodological principle for Electronics is simple: the evidence must be capable of supporting the claim. If the thesis claims improved circuit performance, it needs suitable simulation or measurement comparisons. If it claims better measurement accuracy, it needs references, uncertainty analysis or validation. If it claims a new material or fabrication route is useful, it needs measurable outcomes that connect the process to performance.

Avoid choosing methods only because they are familiar or easy to access. Start from the claim and ask what observation, comparison or test would make that claim credible to an examiner. This prevents the common problem of a technically impressive prototype with weak academic evaluation.

19. Circuit simulation and verification

Current circuit-design studies explicitly use simulation, calculations and analysis of simulation results. A thesis using circuit simulation should report the model environment, component or process assumptions, operating conditions, parameter ranges and metrics used for comparison.

When relevant, include corner analysis, Monte Carlo analysis, sensitivity, noise, temperature or supply variation rather than presenting only a single ideal result. If measured hardware is available, explain how measured and simulated conditions correspond. A design claim is much stronger when the validation conditions are transparent and connected to the original requirements.

20. Integrated-circuit design

Integrated-circuit work may involve MOS devices, CMOS building blocks, amplifiers, comparators, sampling circuits, ADC/DAC architectures or digital physical design. Current coursework shows that both design reasoning and verification are expected competencies.

For a thesis, explain architecture selection, design constraints, trade-offs and verification criteria. Compare the result against a baseline, specification, prior design or state-of-the-art reference when the claim requires comparison. If the project cannot fabricate silicon, simulation-based evidence can still be valid, but the limitations of the validation level should be stated clearly.

21. RF and microwave measurement

Current RF coursework covers instruments and measurements of quantities such as power, frequency, impedance and noise. An RF-focused thesis should therefore document the measurement chain rather than reporting only final plots.

Record the instruments, calibration or reference method, frequency range, fixtures or cables, environmental conditions where relevant, and the way uncertainty or repeatability was handled. If measurements are compared with simulation, explain de-embedding or modelling differences that could affect interpretation. This is especially important when a small numerical difference is used to support a performance claim.

22. Sensors and measurement systems

Electronic Sensors develops competence in selecting sensors, identifying factors affecting accuracy and uncertainty, choosing signal-conditioning circuits and evaluating static or dynamic characteristics. Measurement Systems adds multisensor systems, data acquisition and LabVIEW-based implementation.

A thesis in this area should make the full measurement chain visible: measurand, sensor, conditioning, acquisition, synchronisation, storage, processing and final metric. Define calibration and reference procedures before the final experiment. Report uncertainty, repeatability or resolution at the level needed for the claim instead of assuming that the sensor datasheet represents the complete system performance.

23. Materials, components and packaging

Materials and packaging work may involve semiconductor, dielectric, magnetic or optical properties, joining techniques, multilayer structures, 3D packaging, MEMS, RF modules or component integration. The thesis should connect fabrication or material variables to measurable outcomes.

Document material batches, preparation conditions, process parameters and test conditions that materially affect the result. When sustainability is part of the argument, define what is actually measured or compared rather than making a broad environmental claim from a technical result alone. Separate mechanism explanations from empirical observations unless the evidence supports both.

24. Wireless measurement

Current Wireless Measurements studies cover wireless standards, sensors and networks, and industrial, traffic, environmental, home and healthcare applications. A wireless measurement thesis should report the protocol or standard, device configuration, channel or environment, distance, interference conditions and data-processing method that matter to the result.

Metrics such as packet loss, latency, throughput, energy use, measurement error or coverage should be defined consistently. If field conditions are variable, explain how repeated trials or controlled comparisons were used. Do not generalise a result from one room, device or configuration to all deployments without evidence.

25. Printed electronics

Printed Electronics covers materials, printing methods, fabrication and the relation between manufacturing choices and electrical-component performance. A printed-electronics thesis may therefore combine process development with electrical or functional characterisation.

Record ink or material properties, substrate, printing method, curing or post-processing conditions, geometry and measurement procedure. If the research compares process alternatives, keep other important variables controlled where possible. The conclusion should distinguish a result demonstrated in the thesis from a future manufacturing claim that still needs scale-up evidence.

26. Biomedical instrumentation

Biomedical Instrumentation covers physiological signals, medical instruments, development processes and electrical-safety considerations. A thesis may be primarily an engineering validation of an instrument or may involve measurements from people, but these are not the same research situation.

If the claim concerns instrument performance, define technical reference tests and performance metrics. If human participants or identifiable health-related data are involved, additional privacy, ethics and research-governance questions may apply. Do not convert a successful sensor measurement into a clinical or health claim unless the study design and approvals support that level of inference.

27. Biosignal processing

Biosignal Processing includes digital filtering, time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, nonstationarity, event detection and MATLAB implementation. A biosignal thesis should report sampling, preprocessing, filter parameters, artifact handling, event definitions and analysis settings precisely enough to reproduce the analysis.

When machine-learning or classification methods are added, keep training, validation and test data logically separated and avoid leakage. Report participant or dataset boundaries where applicable. A visually clean processed signal is not by itself evidence of improved diagnostic or physiological validity.

28. Research data management

The University expects research data to be planned across its lifecycle, including acquisition, storage, access, sharing, preservation and reproducibility. The general principle is that research data should be as open as possible and as closed as necessary.

For an Electronics thesis, data may include measurement files, simulation outputs, scripts, CAD files, firmware, photographs, laboratory logs or company-provided datasets. Decide ownership, access rights, file structure, naming, backup and long-term handling early. If a company owns part of the material, agree what can appear in the thesis and what can be retained as research evidence.

29. Personal data and privacy

Personal data can appear in Electronics work when people are participants, users, test subjects, employees, device owners or identifiable data sources. Plan the data lifecycle before collecting or receiving such data. Apply minimisation, secure storage and access control, and use anonymisation or pseudonymisation where appropriate.

A privacy notice, risk assessment or data-protection impact assessment may be required depending on the project. These are not automatic requirements for every Electronics thesis, but they must be considered when the study actually processes personal data. Ask the supervisor and use current University guidance rather than copying another thesis’s privacy wording.

30. Ethics review

An ethics committee review is not automatically required for every Electronics thesis. The need depends on the research design. The University’s Human Sciences Ethics Committee is relevant for non-medical research involving human participants when the applicable criteria are met, while other research contexts may have different governance routes.

The key planning task is to identify the issue early. If the project uses people, intrusive procedures, sensitive data or other ethically significant methods, discuss the requirement before recruitment or data collection. Ethics approval cannot be treated as a formality to obtain after the study has already been conducted.

31. AI use and research integrity

Research integrity applies to source use, data provenance, code, figures, measurements and AI-assisted work. If generative AI or other AI tools are used in planning, coding, language editing or analysis, follow current University and supervisor instructions and document the use where required.

Do not allow AI-generated text to introduce technical claims, references or parameter values that were not verified. The student remains responsible for the thesis. In engineering work this is especially important because fabricated references, incorrect device specifications or silently altered code can invalidate otherwise strong results.

32. Thesis evaluation

The current thesis course uses the assessment scale 1-5/FAIL. Current Electronics/ECE guidance requires examiners to inspect the thesis and plagiarism result and prepare an evaluation proposal using the programme’s evaluation form. The Degree Programme Committee then evaluates the thesis on the basis of examiner statements and updates the final grade in Laturi.

The accessible public sources do not justify a numeric sub-score mapping for Electronics, so this guide does not invent one. Students should use the current evaluation form and criteria supplied by the programme and discuss quality targets with the supervisor early enough to improve the work before final submission.

33. Examiner boundary

The public current Electronics/ECE process refers to examiners in the plural and assigns the main supervisor responsibility for inviting examiners. However, the accessible current public instructions used for this guide do not establish a universal exact number that should be promised to every Electronics student.

For this reason, the guide keeps a no fixed examiner count boundary. The operational lesson is simple: follow the examiner setup created for the individual thesis in Laturi and the current programme instructions. Do not import a fixed examiner number from another Oulu programme merely because its process looks similar.

34. Seminar presentation

The 521362S seminar presentation is part of the current Electronics thesis process for students under the applicable PSP structure. The student prepares and gives a presentation of the thesis, with questions and discussion, and gains experience evaluating other presentations and communicating as an expert.

Because the course object itself is 0 ECTS, do not add it to the thesis as a separate mandatory credit load. Attendance at three additional seminars can generate an optional one-credit unit under the current course description, but that is a separate choice. The mandatory presentation itself remains a zero-credit thesis requirement.

35. Maturity test

The current Electronics maturity course is 521011S, worth 0 ECTS, and the current realization is 521011S-3006. Current programme instructions say the supervisor creates the maturity test as an E-exam, the student completes it in Examinarium, and the supervisor grades and locks it through the Exam system. Peppi registration is also required.

The course describes approximately three pages of controlled writing on a supervisor-provided topic. The purpose is to demonstrate familiarity with the thesis topic and the required language competence. Because language obligations depend on the student’s educational and statutory background, confirm the applicable language route instead of assuming English is always sufficient.

36. Uploading the final thesis

When the supervisor considers the thesis ready for assessment, the student receives permission to upload it to Laturi. The final document should follow the current formatting and file requirements, including the University’s PDF/A-related submission expectations where applicable.

Before upload, verify that the title, abstract, metadata, figures, references, appendices and confidentiality boundaries are correct. Do not leave company-confidential content inside the thesis expecting the repository settings to solve the problem later. Confidential information should have been separated or handled through an agreed arrangement before finalisation.

37. Plagiarism check and evaluation proposal

The programme responsible person and the examiners access the thesis in Laturi and inspect the plagiarism-check result. The examiners then prepare the evaluation proposal using the programme’s Master’s thesis evaluation form. Current instructions require this evaluation to be completed three days before the relevant Degree Programme Committee meeting.

Similarity detection is not a substitute for research integrity. The student still needs correct citation, transparent reuse of earlier material, proper handling of code and figures, and clear authorship of the work. If a similarity result reveals a genuine problem, it should be resolved before the evaluation proceeds.

38. Degree Programme Committee and rectification

The Degree Programme Committee evaluates the Master’s thesis on the basis of the examiner statements and updates the final grade in Laturi. Information about the approval and grade then transfers through the University’s systems.

Current instructions provide a 14-day route to request correction of the assessment after the student receives notification of the decision. A student considering rectification should use the current University procedure and base the request on the assessment criteria and specific evaluation issue rather than simply disagreeing with the grade.

39. Publication and confidentiality

Laturi is also connected to thesis archiving and publication. University guidance requires that the final thesis itself must not contain secret trade or professional information. If confidential background material is necessary for the project, the handling should be agreed in advance with the University and external partner.

A company thesis should therefore be designed so that the academic reasoning and sufficient evidence can be presented publicly while protected business information remains outside the public manuscript. Delaying this discussion until submission can create serious problems because the thesis must remain assessable even after confidential details are removed.

40. Graduation through Peppi

After the thesis, maturity test and other degree requirements are complete and recorded, degree-certificate application proceeds through Peppi according to the University’s current graduation process. Students should make sure that required studies are visible in Peppi and that the current Personal Study Plan requirements are satisfied.

Do not plan graduation around an old meeting or ceremony date. Timetables can change, and programme pages may show only the currently published cycle. Use the live graduation timetable when setting a final submission target.

41. A realistic thesis timeline

A practical sequence is to secure the topic and supervisor first, then use the kick-off discussion to lock scope, method and resources. Start Laturi, obtain research-plan approval, set up data management and any ethics or privacy requirements, and complete the technical work with enough time left for analysis and writing.

Before final submission, reserve time for supervisor feedback, corrections, the seminar presentation, maturity test, PDF/A preparation and the evaluation schedule. The thesis is 30 ECTS, so treating it as a short final-month writing exercise is usually unrealistic. Technical delays such as component delivery, laboratory booking, fabrication or hardware failure should be included in the risk plan.

42. Common mistakes

Common mistakes include choosing a topic before checking supervision expertise, building a prototype without defining how it will be evaluated, collecting measurements before calibration or data-management planning, and making claims that are broader than the experiment supports. Another mistake is assuming that a company objective automatically equals an academic research question.

Administrative mistakes are also avoidable: using the wrong thesis code, forgetting the 0 ECTS seminar presentation, registering for the wrong maturity test, postponing Laturi setup, or copying a workflow from another Oulu programme. The exact Electronics objects should remain visible throughout the project: 521977S, 521362S and 521011S.

43. What not to import from other Oulu programmes

Do not use 521993S from standalone Computer Science and Engineering, 521009S as the Electronics maturity code, or a Biomedical Engineering thesis object. Do not assume the Business Analytics CSE or SEIS process applies simply because it also uses Laturi. Programme-specific thesis objects and procedures are not interchangeable.

Also do not import a fixed examiner number from another programme. The Electronics public sources used here support a no fixed examiner count statement, not an invented universal number. Likewise, the Electronics seminar is mandatory under the applicable structure but remains a 0 ECTS thesis requirement.

44. Freshness and the 2027-2030 curriculum transition

This guide is bounded to the current 2026-2027 programme and live official sources checked during preparation. The University is moving to the 2027-2030 curriculum period from academic year 2027-2028. Course codes, programme objects, implementations, responsible persons or process details can therefore change.

Students starting or submitting under the new period should perform a 2027-2030 recheck against the live Peppi study guide and University thesis instructions. The safest rule is to use this guide to understand the process, then confirm the current object and implementation before registration or submission.

45. Practical workflow

Start with the current Electronics programme object 51686 / IMP2026ELECTRONICS and confirm that your PSP uses the expected curriculum. Find a thesis topic and the relevant study-field supervisor, hold the kick-off discussion, and arrange a technical supervisor if the work is external. Start the thesis in Laturi and obtain approval for the research plan before relying on the project setup as final.

Carry out the technical work with a method that can support the claim. Keep data, simulation, measurement, fabrication and code records organised. Write using the current programme template, complete the 521362S mandatory 0 ECTS seminar presentation, finish 521011S / 521011S-3006 maturity-test requirements through the current Examinarium route, and upload 521977S / 521977S-3002 to Laturi only when the supervisor gives permission. Follow the examiner setup shown in Laturi, remembering that the public guide establishes no fixed examiner count. After committee approval and completion of all studies, use Peppi for graduation steps.

46. Final checklist

Before submission, confirm that the programme is Electronics and that the thesis is 521977S, course object 19582, 30 ECTS, with the current implementation 521977S-3002 if you are still under the 2026-2027 structure. Confirm that your Laturi research plan and supervisor setup are approved, any external-work technical supervisor is correctly arranged, and your method, evidence and conclusions match each other.

Confirm the 521362S mandatory 0 ECTS seminar presentation, the 521011S / 521011S-3006 maturity test, Examinarium and Peppi requirements, data/privacy/ethics obligations, final thesis formatting and confidentiality boundaries. Check the live examiner setup rather than assuming a number. Finally, if your study period falls under the next curriculum, complete a 2027-2030 recheck before treating any course object, implementation code, responsible person or timetable in this guide as current.
