Descriptions
The programme is targeted for professionals in working life aspiring to become Masters in Information Technology. The studies are designed and implemented in such a way that students in full-time employment can participate. The prerequisite for participation is a Bachelor level degree in engineering and at least two years of working life experience. There is no entrance exam. The student selection is based on two preliminary assignments, see the details in the application pages.
The degree consists of professional studies (30 ECTS) and a Master’s thesis project (30 ECTS). The studies consist of lectures, laboratory work, workshops, assignments, and projects as well as independent study.
