The default view in Sisu’s Structure of Studies section will change

The renewed Structure of Studies view will become the primary way to plan your studies. The change will be implemented at the end of June.

The new view is still under development, which is why not all functions are yet available. If necessary, you can switch to the old view using the toggle at the top of the page. You can also use the same toggle to return to the new view.

The old view will be discontinued later, and this will be announced separately.

Differences between the views

In the new view, you manage the contents in a selection window and confirm all changes by saving them. In the old view, edits are made in the side menu and saved automatically.

Your study plans will remain the same in both views, and no data will be lost. You can switch to the other view at any time.
