Importance of Measurements?
• Importance of measurements is enormous:
 Critical decisions (economical, social, medical) are
based on results of measurements
 40% of the EU directives involve measurements

Master’s thesis
• This is a serious scientific research project.
• It is very important to begin Master`s thesis
work as soon as possible at the beginning of
study.
• You should not expect that you will be able to
complete it with one semester.
• The best advisor for you is your Master`s
thesis supervisor.
• The information about research groups at the
Seminars in Measurement Science (starting
from September 5) .

Study Information System (SIS)
• Address: http://ois.ut.ee/
• The administration of your studies
proceeds fully via SIS
• The username and password of SIS
are also used for accessing most other
data systems here at UT
• Please monitor your e-mail account

Taking a course, what does it mean?
1. Registering to the course via SIS
2. Attending the course
– Performing intermediate tests, answering
questions on practical works, if required, etc
3. Registering to the exam via SIS
4. Taking the exam
– In some courses (labs) there are no exams

Study progress requirements
• The overall programme is 120 ECTS
• Per semester you should get
– preferably 30 ECTS
– as a minimum 22.5 ECTS
• In the case of extensive previous experience credit
transfer (RPL/VÕTA) is possible
– This is dealt with on case by case basis
