Descriptions
The goal of Master’s degree studies in Information Technology is to provide a student with the latest knowledge and skills required in advanced tasks in the information technology.
The Master’s degree programme consists of studies of 60 ECTS. A Final Project (Master of Engineering Thesis) plays a major role in the Master’s degree constituting a total of 30 ECTS. The project is usually done for the industry.
Professional studies provide students with the latest knowledge and skills to follow the professional development of the field, both from the applied research and practical viewpoints.
A graduate acquires the following competencies from the degree:
The latest knowledge in a chosen specialisation option
Ability to conduct applied research projects
Information acquisition skills and adaptation of new knowledge
The latest knowledge in advanced programming
Problem-solving skills
Specialisation options:
Mobile Programming
The specialisation option includes courses in the latest mobile programming technology such as eLinux, Symbian and AJAX.
In the first study year, classes are held two to three evenings per week. In the second study year students compile an industry-related Final Project.
