Timetables and nominal division

How to create a study plan?

  1. Log in to ÕIS, using your Tallinn University user account. In ÕIS user guide, you will find information on how to navigate the Study Information System.
  2. Start creating your study plan in Study Information System (ÕIS) at a time stated in the Academic Calendar.
  3. Study plan is created taking into account the nominal division, which is created by the Academic Unit. The Nominal Division can be found from ÕIS - directions are at the end of this page.
  4. All the courses will be added to the timetable system ASIO. Lecture times can be found either using your group identifier code (for example for students in Educational Innovation and Leadership programme’s first year it would be KAEIM-1) under “study & events” or course code under “course calendars”.

The subjects in curriculum are divided into

  • compulsory subjects: subjects that students must acquire within a curriculum;
  • elective subjects: subjects that can be selected from the list of subjects provided in the curriculum;
  • open electives: subjects that can be freely selected from the subjects listed in different curricula of the university. As a rule, open electives are selected from the curricula of the same level. Optional subjects include both minors and supporting subjects (language and computer studies).

Nominal division

The timetable will be put together based on the nominal division. The curator of the curriculum is responsible for the nominal division.

The nominal divisions can be found in ÕIS as follows: master studies: ÕIS > from the menu on the left choose "Study programmes" > from the menu on top of the page choose "Master" > School of Educational Sciences > choose your study programme version code > view more > choose "Main speciality" at the bottom of the page > Nominal division

NB! The nominal divisions are being renewed. Adjusted information is published, when timetables are published.
