How the credits are registered in the student’s home university’s study register
- When the examiner has evaluated the students’ course performance, the grades are registered in the study register of the course host university (UH and Aalto are using Sisu; Hanken has started the gradual transition from WebOodi to Sisu).
- Please check which courses are included in your home university’s curriculum (links to the curriculums can be found below). All the PhD students are advised to contact their supervisors to be sure that the course credit can be counted toward their degree. Links to the curriculums of Master’s Programs at the Helsinki GSE member universities are listed here:
