Descriptions
The extent of the engineering education is 240 ECTS credits. The first year of studies is organized in software-oriented and hardware-oriented study themes. They provide fundamental knowledge and skills in the field of ICT and introduce the study paths in Information Technology Degree Programme. This enables students to choose the most suitable study path for them. Professional studies, project studies, mathematics, physics as well as language and communication studies are integrated in the courses to enable phenomenon-based learning. Finnish courses are offered as separate courses. The first year of studies aims to build a solid theoretical and technological base for professional studies.
Students will choose their professional major at the end of their first-year studies and during the 2nd study year, students will focus on developing their professional competence. IT Degree Programme offers three majors:
- Game Development
- Software Engineering
- 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.
The 3rd year of studies will begin with professional studies which will deepen students’ engineering skills and theoretical knowledge of the major. During work placement, students will apply knowledge and skills to practice and are able to further develop their professional competence.
The final, 4th year of studies will provide the multidisciplinary innovation project which is a project often completed in a multidisciplinary project team requiring strong engineering skills and team working skills. The learning process will culminate in the Final Year Project (Bachelor’s Thesis).
Structure of the degree (240 ECTS):
- Orientation to Information Technology 60 ECTS
- Fundamental Professional Studies 30 ECTS
- Advanced Professional Studies 60 ECTS
- Common Professional Studies 30 ECTS
- 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.
Development
The curriculum was developed to target the needs of working life in the field of ICT both in Finland and internationally.
