MyTimetable
MyTimetable is the tool to consult timetables of all programmes of the Faculty of Science. MyTimetable offers you your timetable in a simple, personalised and clear manner and provides a complete overview of all your educational activities.
You will find the timetables for all our courses and degree programme in MyTimetable. This enables you to create a personal timetable. Any teaching activities that you have registered for in uSis will automatically be displayed in your timetable. Any timetables that you add will be saved and automatically displayed the next time you sign in.
MyTimetable allows you to integrate your timetable with your calendar apps such as Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and other calendar apps on your smartphone. Any timetable changes will be automatically synced with your calendar. If you wish, you can also receive an email notification of the change.

Credit point system

Course level indication
| Level 100 |
Introductory course, building directly on the knowledge acquired during per-university education. Characteristics: Teaching based on a general textbook or syllabus, pedagogically structured, with exercises and tests; tutor-guided seminars; accents in study material and examples in lectures. |
| Level 200 | Introductory course, requiring no specific prior knowledge but expecting experience with independent study. Characteristics: Textbooks or other teaching material of a more or less introductory nature; lectures e.g. as capita selecta ; independent study is expected. |
| Level 300 | Course for advanced students, prerequisite level 100 or 200. Characteristics: Books used are not necessarily written specifically for teaching; independent study; independent application of subject matter to solve new problems. |
| Level 400 | Specialised course, prerequisite level 200 or 300. Characteristics: Use of professional literature (articles in journals) next to textbooks; examination (partly) through a limited study, a lecture or a paper. A component at this level may to some extent also be part of a master’s programme. |
| Level 500 | Course with an academic orientation, entrance requirements at master’s level. Characteristics: Study of advanced professional literature meant for researchers; tests aimed at problem solving by a paper or original research, with independent critical reflection on the course materials. |
| Level 600 | Highly specialized course, prerequisite level 400 or 500. Characteristics: Topical research papers; stat-of-the-art academic thinking; oral presentation of an original contribution (thesis) dealing with a yet unsolved problem. |
