Information and Communication Technology: Web Development and Digital Media
Code: TXK24S1
Descriptions
The extent of the engineering education is 240 ECTS credits. The first year of ICT studies consist of two study themes, Software and Hardware, that have been divided into four 15 ECTS courses. They provide fundamental knowledge and skills in the field of ICT. Professional and project studies, mathematics, physics as well as language and communication skills are integrated in the courses to enable phenomenon-based learning. During the first year, students study in small groups working full-time.
Students will choose their major at the end of their first-year studies. Major studies develop and deepen students’ professional competence. Major options are Health Technology, Game Development, Software Engineering, Web Development and Digital Media, and Smart IoT Systems. Students majoring in Smart IoT Systems have a possibility to deepen their knowledge towards either Embedded IoT Devices or IoT and Networks. Software Engineering major is implemented in both Finnish and English, from which the study path in Finnish focuses on machine learning and the study path in English on mobile development at the end of the professional studies.
Structure of the degree (240 ECTS):
- Orientation to Information and Communication Technology 60 ECTS
- Fundamental Professional Studies 30 ECTS
- Advanced Professional Studies 65 ECTS
- Common Professional Studies 25 ETCS
- Elective Studies 15 ECTS
- Work Placement 30 ECTS
- Bachelor's Thesis 15 ECTS
The content of the studies is based on working life and partly phenomenon-based learning. Some of the studies, where applicable, are connected to Metropolia's innovation hubs and multidisciplinary projects there. The implementation of the courses will take into account the principles of sustainable development where applicable. Students can also complete some of their studies as an exchange student in international partner universities. During work placement, students will apply knowledge and skills to practice and are able to further develop their professional competence.
