Course information
• List of courses offered in English can be found at
http://www.oulu.fi/oulubusinessschool/studies
• Course schedules available in WebOodi: https://weboodi.oulu.fi
• There are three different levels of courses. The levels you can see,
for example, from the course codes – for example 724204A
Management Control
– P in the end stands for basic course (bachelor level, courses
only available in Finnish)
– A in the end stands for intermediate course (bachelor level,
some courses in Finnish and some in English)
– S in the end stands for advanced course (master, courses in
English)
Courses offered in English
• Exchange students can take any intermediate level courses (letter A in the
course code), some previous studies (in that field) required.
• For example: 724210A Global Economics. A couple of Economics’ courses
done before would be a good background for this one.
• In order to attend advanced (master) courses (S) you should have a pretty
solid background in that specific field (for example Finance).
• For example: 721539S Cross-cultural Negotiations. Several courses done in
International Business/Management (or similar fields) would be a good
background for this one.
• For some courses there are specific requirements, for some courses a couple
of basic courses done in the same field is enough –> Check on course
descriptions
How to select the courses?
• Please check especially the PERIOD (A-D) and the LANGUAGE
(Finnish/English) of instruction of the courses you wish to take
• Exchange students of other faculties in the University of Oulu can
select only intermediate level courses. Advanced level courses
cannot be taken.
• It is also very important to check the registration periods for
courses AND exams. Registration deadlines can be seen in
WebOodi.
• In case you need to contact OBS staff members, note that all email
addresses are in form [email protected]
• For example: [email protected]
• Exception: [email protected] (prof. Janne Järvinen)
Signing up for courses & exams
Please note, that you need to sign up for every COURSE and EXAM in WebOodi
(separate registrations)
• WebOodi: https://weboodi.oulu.fi/
• Registration periods for courses vary, check timetables in WebOodi.
• Registration for an exam must be done no later than on previous week’s
Thursday at 23.59. Late registrations are not accepted. Exam will be graded
only if the student has registered on time.
• New students usually receive their WebOodi accounts one day after they have
enrolled in the university (at the latest)
• In case you have not obtained your WebOodi account yet, you may request it at
University’s IT services: service desk located at Student Center
• The registration for courses starting this week is still open, so that new
international students can sign-up. It is recommended to check the timetables in
WebOodi as soon as possible.

Worth noticing…
University of Oulu has zero tolerance for cheating (i.e. copying
exam answers, plagiarism of course work etc.)
•
For example: chatting in exam hall or quoting other writers without
appropriate references is considered as cheating
•
Use references every time you quote other writers/websites/etc.
•
If found guilty of cheating, the exam (or other course work) will be
annulled and student’s home university will be notified of the incident.
•
Severe offences can be punished even by suspending the student.
