PERSONAL STUDY PLAN INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STUDENT

A personal study plan (PSP) is a plan students prepare for themselves that contains the contents,
extent and duration of their studies. The degree structure of a student's degree programme is
used as the basis of this study plan. The PSP helps students stay on schedule and advance in their
studies. The plan must be updated as their studies progress. see also:
http://www.oulu.fi/english/studying/supporting-your-studies/personal-study-plan-psp

The PSP is a tool for the student to be able to plan and define the contents of his / her degree. The PSP of
the architect’s degree is to be made based on the structure of the study programme of the year of enrolment
of the student.

The extent of the architect’s degree is 120 credits, including a minimum of 30 credits of advanced courses
(S) and the diploma thesis work of 30 cr.

Before applying for the approval of the subject of one’s diploma thesis project, the student’s personal study
plan has to be approved by the Department of Architecture.

If the student has followed the original study programme requirements, the official approval is not needed.

In case the student has not followed the original original study programme requirements, the personal study
plan has to be made using the template and following these instructions, under the supervision of the study
advisor of the Department of Architecture.

Once the PSP has been approved by the study advisor, the final version of the study plan has to be signed
by the student and submitted to the office of the Department of Architecture together with the PSP
application form. http://www.oulu.fi/architecture/node/5921

The PSP includes the study units which the student has completed so far and will complete before
graduation. All studies have to be marked inside the modules. A list of excluded compulsory courses has to
be written in the PSP.

The architect’s degree may also include optional language studies (i.e. Finnish language).
