1 FINLAND, ESPOO
Finland is the seventh largest country in Europe with
over 5.3 million inhabitants. Finland is the northernmost
country in the world after Iceland. The neighbouring
countries are Sweden, Norway, Estonia, and Russia.
Finland is a member state of the European Union and
traditionally co-operates closely with other Nordic
countries.
The majority of Finnish people speak Finnish as their
mother tongue, but some six percent speak Swedish. To
be precise, even a third language, Saame, spoken by a
very small minority in northernmost Lapland has as an
official status along with Finnish and Swedish. As a
visitor you do not need to speak and understand Finnish
nor Swedish, since most Finns, at least young people,
speak English and often also many other foreign
languages.
Finland has a long coastline, and two-thirds of the
country is covered by forest. Finland is a land of lakes,
and there are almost 200,000 lakes in the country.
Finland is also a land of four seasons, with temperate
2 HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
2.1 General Description
Helsinki Technical School was founded in 1849 to offer
secondary school education for young people who
wished to enter industrial trades. The school developed
into a Polytechnical Institute in 1879 and gained its
university status in 1908. In 2008, TKK celebrates its 100
years as a university. At present, preparations are made to
combine TKK, Helsinki School of Economics (HSE)
and University of Art and Design Helsinki (TaiK) into a
new university that will become operative by the year
2010.
TKK is administered by its Council, Rector and Central
Administration. The highest decision-making body at
TKK is the Council, which consists of the Rector, the
two Vice-Rectors, the Deans of the faculties, two
members appointed by the TKK Advisory Board, as well
as representatives of staff and students. Its task is the
general administration of the university. The chairman of
the Council is the Rector.
The university is divided into four faculties, each
directed by a Dean. The highest decision-making body in
the faculty is the Faculty Council. The separate units
that are not included in the faculties are administered by
a Head or a Head and a Board.
The Rector and the Vice Rectors are elected for a term of
five years. The Rector is Professor Matti Pursula and the
Vice Rectors are Professor Kalevi Ekman and Professor
Outi Krause.
The Rector is in charge of financial decisions and
general matters concerning the university. The Vice

weather and long days in the summer, cold weather and
long nights in the winter. In the opinion of many Finns
and especially of many foreigners, the best thing about
Finland is the unspoiled natural countryside with its
lakes and forests, still relatively untouched by serious
pollution.
The city of Espoo where Helsinki University of
Technology (TKK) is located lies on the southern coast
of Finland next to Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Together with Helsinki and Vantaa, Espoo forms the
metropolitan area where nearly one fifth of Finland's
whole population lives. There are excellent connections
from Espoo to Helsinki: TKK can be reached by bus
from the centre of Helsinki in 15 - 20 minutes. Espoo
was built to blend in with nature which gives the town a
very original look. Together with the largest
concentration of technology in northern Europe, Espoo
is an interesting combination of peaceful nature and
modern creativity.
Rectors deal with issues related to studies, research and
international matters.
The Administration is responsible for drawing up and
presenting matters that will be decided in the Council, as
well as for executing the Council's decisions. The
Administration is led by the Director of Administration,
Mr Esa Luomala.
2.2 International Student
Services
The International Student Services is responsible for co-
ordinating international student exchange and mobility,
for providing international student services and for
supporting faculties and the university in international
academic affairs and cooperation
The International Student Services is located on the
second floor of the Main Building (rooms Y234, Y235,
Y239, Y242 and Y249a-f). The fax number of the Services

3 STUDYING AT TKK
3.1. European Credit Transfer
System ECTS at TKK
ECTS - European Credit Transfer System is a systematic
way of describing an educational programme by
attaching credits to its components. ECTS is a student-
centred system based on the student workload required to
achieve the objectives of a programme. The system was
introduced in 1989, within the framework of Erasmus
programme. ECTS is the only credit system which has
been successfully tested and used across Europe. ECTS
was set up initially for credit transfer. The system
facilitated the recognition of periods of study abroad and
thus enhanced the quality and volume of student
mobility in Europe. Recently ECTS is developing into
an accumulation system to be implemented at European
level. This is one of the key objectives of the Bologna
Declaration of June 1999.
ECTS makes study programmes easy to read and
compare for all students, local and foreign. ECTS
facilitates mobility and academic recognition. It helps
universities to organise and revise their study
programmes. ECTS makes European higher education
more attractive for students from other continents. ECTS
is based on the principle that 60 credits measure the
workload of a full-time student during one academic
year. Student workload in ECTS consists of the time
required to complete all planned learning activities such
as attending lectures, seminars, independent and private
study, preparation of projects, examinations, and so forth.
More information of ECTS can be found in
http://europa.eu/
At TKK the ECTS is used in the following way:
- The credits (opintopiste, op) used at TKK are
equivalent to ECTS credits. The old TKK credits (ocr)
can be converted into ECTS by multiplying them by 1.5.
For example, 2 TKK credits are converted as follows: 1.5
x 2 TKK old credits = 3 ECTS credits.

Foreign Student Adviser, Ms Sinikka Tamminen, tel. 451
2104, e-mail admissions@tkk.fi (application process of
international degree students)
2.3 Faculties
Each faculty is administered by its Faculty Council and
the Dean. The four faculties of TKK are:
Faculty of Electronics, Communications and
Automation
Faculty of Information and Natural Sciences
Faculty of Engineering and Architecture
Faculty of Chemistry and Materials Sciences
More information on the faculties and their teaching is
given in the section 4.
- The grading scale for the courses is: 5 = excellent, 4 =
very good, 3 = good, 2 = very satisfactory, 1 = satisfactory,
0 = failed
- The Study Programme ECTS Guide supplies
information in English on TKK, its faculties and the
instruction offered
- The ECTS learning agreement is used at TKK when
needed by the partner institutions or international
students. In other cases the international applicants are
advised to download the application form on the TKK
web-sites.
- TKK provides students with the transcripts of records
which can be obtained in English at the faculty offices.
The transcript of records lists the courses student has
taken during the study period at TKK.
3.2 Degree Structure
TKK has changed over to a new, two-cycle degree
structure, together with other Finnish universities, on the
1st of August, 2005. Students who begin their studies
after this date are to first complete a Bachelor of Science
in Technology/Architecture degree, and only after that
the Master of Science in Technology, Architecture or
Landscape Architecture degree. A person with a
Bachelor’s degree can be admitted to study only towards
Master’s degree.
The change in degree structure is connected to the
"Bologna process", in which 40 European countries
participate in order to create an internationally
competitive European area of higher education by 2010.
The aim is to increase student mobility and employment
opportunities as well as to improve the transparency and
comparability of degrees.
3.2.1 Regulations for the Transition
Period
Students who began their degree studies before the new
regulations came into force may study under the old
 8

degree regulations (1995) until the 31st July 2010. They
may apply to transfer to study under the new regulations.
Applications are handled by the relevant faculty, which
also decides how the student’s previous studies are
approved for the degree.
The transfer to the new system of teaching will be
implemented year by year so that by the academic year
2009-2010 all teaching for the lower and higher
university degrees will be in the new form.
The faculties may transfer to the new system of teaching
more quickly than described above.
As the transfer to the new system takes place, students
studying under the 1995 regulations will do the
discontinued courses by studying the nearest equivalent
courses in the new system as decided by the faculty.
If a student studying under the new regulations studies
more quickly than the changeover to the new system
allows for, the equivalence mentioned above between the
old and new courses may be applied.
In confirming the equivalence between old and new
courses, the faculties shall take into account above all

or an official co-operation agreement, should contact
with an appropriate co-ordinator at their home university
prior to applying.
3.3.2 Coming to Finland: Necessary
Documents
Before leaving your home country there are certain
preparations you should undertake. All foreigners in
Finland need a valid passport or an official identity card
to prove their identity. Please check the requirements for
the citizens of your home country beforehand.
Students who arrive from certain countries need to
obtain a visa to be able to enter Finland. In addition, the
application for a residence permit must be submitted
before departure for Finland at a Finnish Embassy or
Consulate in the applicant's country of permanent
residence. When applying for your student residence
permit you must have a sufficient health insurance that

11
3.4.4 Study Counselling
The aim of study counselling is to help students with the
practical aspects of studying as well as to improve their
ability to plan and carry out their programme of study.
Throughout their years of study at TKK, students can
receive advice on studying from the teachers, student
counsellors, planning officers and international study
advisers during their office hours. Student counsellors
and international study advisers are usually senior
students. The student counsellors', international study
advisers' and planning officers' office hours appear on the
faculty of department notice boards during the autumn
term.
Each degree student (Bachelor’s or Master’s) shall have a
tutor to guide his or her studies. This tutor will be
appointed by the faculty in charge of the administration
of the degree programme.
3.4.5 Study Plans
Planning one’s studies is an important part of studying.
Each student takes their personal road through their
studies with choices from the very beginning of the
studies to graduation. This road through the studies
should be as sensible and systematic as possible. As a tool
for planning the studies, TKK uses two types of study
plans.
Each Bachelor’s and Master’s degree student shall have
an official personal study plan (HOPS) confirmed by the
University including the content of the studies and the
schedule for achieving them, and according to which the
student has the right to carry out his/her studies. The
official personal study plan should make clear the
modules constituting the student’s studies. The study
plan is completed once during the Bachelor-level and
once during the Master- level. The study plan is a
binding agreement on both parties: the student and TKK.
It grants a student with a right to study according to the
approved study plan but at the same time, the student is
obliged to abide by the valid study plan.
During the first autumn, the student completes his/her
personal study plan. The purpose of the first personal
study plan is to familiarize the student with the degree
structure. Working through a personal study plan is
compulsory for all students.
3.4.6 Language of Instruction
The main language of instruction is Finnish but some
basic courses can be taken in Swedish as well. TKK also
offers a great number of courses in English. More
detailed information about the instruction offered can be
found in Chapters 4 of this book. Please notice that the
language of instruction is mentioned in the course
descriptions.
All international students who wish to start their studies
for a degree at TKK are required to have a certain level
in English language. The students are required to show
either an offical language test report (TOEFL or IELTS)
or in the case of doctoral students an official statement of
language skills signed by the professor at TKK of the
student's field of study. More information of the
requirements can be obtained from the Foreign Student
Adviser (admissions@tkk.fi).
3.4.7 Registration for a Course; Course
Materials
A student has to register for each course when it begins if
s/he wishes to attend it. Course registration is organised
through the internet. You can register for courses in
WebOodi (https://oodi.tkk.fi/en/). For that, you need a
student number that you get when you enrol at TKK
upon your arrival. Some courses might be crowded and
therefore it is not enough just to register like this. It is
important that you personally attend the first lecture.
Further information can be found in the guides of the
various degree programmes.
In WebOodi (https://oodi.tkk.fi/en/) you may also browse
the study programme. In most cases, the courses also
have a homepage which are located in the new study
portal Noppa (https://noppa.tkk.fi).
Course material is used in most of the courses. This is
important to the student because the examination may
be based partly on this material. The course material may
also be used during the lectures. In most cases, the
course material will be published at the course’s
homepage in the Noppa portal (https://noppa.tkk.fi).
During the lectures and/or at the course’s homepage you
will find information on if there is also a printed material
package available.
3.4.8 Examinations: Registration and
Grading
According to § 58 of the degree regulations,
examinations for courses are organised according to the
degree requirements in force. Examinations for courses
removed from the curriculum shall be held at least
during the academic year following the removal of the
course. The student shall register for an examination one
week beforehand, unless the teacher in charge accepts
later registration. Registration is done in WebOodi
(https://oodi.tkk.fi/en/).
The teacher is obliged to publish the list of passes, and if
possible the main criteria of assessment, at the course’s
homepage in the Noppa portal (https://noppa.tkk.fi)
within one month of the date of the examination. In
addition, the results may also be published on the notice
board. The faculties/departments shall ensure that the
results and grading of examinations are entered in the
students’ register promptly. Transcripts of records can be
obtained from the department offices or International
Student Services during the visiting hours. An unofficial
transcript of records can also be ordered from WebOodi
(https://oodi.tkk.fi/en/). This requires that the student has
enrolled and given his e-mail address to the student
register. You can change your email address yourself to
the student register through WebOodi.
In the lower and higher university degrees, the grades
used are
Excellent (5)
Very good (4)
Good (3)

Very satisfactory (2)
Satisfactory (1)
If you receive the grade 0, you have not passed the
examination. Courses that are so designated in the
curriculum can also be assessed pass/fail.
3.4.9 Credit System
Studies are allotted credits according to the amount of
work required; the average number of hours demanded
by one academic year of studies, 1600 hours, is
equivalent to 60 credits.
The Bachelor’s degree consists of 180 credits (ECTS)
and the the Master’s degree is 120 credits (ECTS).
The extent of the courses and degree programmes are
given in credits equivalent to 1 ECTS credit, literal
translation opintopiste if it is a course according to the

S-38.3151 Delay-tolerant Networking (DTN) (3 cr)
I knowledge in practical lab implementations.
Lecturer: Prof. Jörg Ott, Teemu Kärkkäinen
Contents: DTN in an emerging research area that takes a
different approach to (inter)networking and allows to
work in stressed as well as in highly heterogeneous
environments. DTN features a number of unique
properties which make this concept applicable to
challenged networking environments in which
traditional communication paradigms would fail or
perform rather poorly: DTN uses only communication
based upon asynchronous messaging, does not rely on
the existence of an end-to-end path at any point in time,
and combines store-and-forward message delivery with
physical data carriage. DTN technologies may be applied
for challenged static network setups (including, for
example, inter-planetary or underwater communications)
but is also applied to (sparse) mobile ad-hoc networks to
enable communications. Deterministic and/or
probabilistic routing mechanisms are applied depending
on the respective environment. This course will
introduce the fundamentals of this relatively young
research area and explore some specific aspects in
(practical) assignments.
Objective: Obtaining an overview of the discipline of
delay- and disruption-tolerant networking and various of
its areas of application (including sensornets, space
communications, and mobile ad-hoc networks).
Understanding the issues in building networks using
DTN technologies, learning protocol details, and
applying this knowledge in the lab environment.

(30+0) I-II
Lecturer: Prof. Tapani Vuorinen, Anna-Stiina
Jääskeläinen, D.Sc (Tech.)
Contents: The wood in a living tree is composed of
specialized tissues and cells for growth, metabolism and
storage, water transport and mechanical support. The
cells are glued together with lignin. Biogenesis of the
wood cell wall follows a peculiar pathway leading to an
intelligent composite structure of cellulose,
hemicelluloses and lignin. Strong, anisotropically
oriented cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix
of lignin and hemicelluloses that control the water
content and viscoelasticity of the cell wall. In addition to
the cell wall polymers, wood contains extractives that
preserve it against microbes and serve as a reserve of
carbon and energy. In this course the different aspects in
the structure, chemistry and functions of wood are
discussed in details with links to their technical
importance in forest products technology.
