Exactly. My suggestion would grant more control over what may be run on a computer, and would keep the keys of from all the computers. However, it is not a perfect fix - while it would likely defeat keyloggers on any of the computers, I can think of a few ways that an attacker who knows what you use to access your account to steal and use your key(s).

(Btw: here in Norway, the results of your exams are never sen2d via
email. They get send to you via a specially designed "website"
(StudentWeb) which you can connect to providing your identity number
and using encryption. Here's an example, choose one:
https://www.studweb.no/ )

I am not familiar with the software used in Norway by universities. I am only familiar with Blackboard, which is used by many universities in the USA, and I would not trust it for transmitting or receiving personal or confidential material.
