Descriptions
The total length of the Bachelor of Engineering is 240 credits, which corresponds to four years of full-time study. The first year of ICT studies consists of two themes, Software and Hardware, divided into four 15 ECTS courses. These courses integrate fundamental knowledge and skills in the field of ICT, professional and project studies, mathematics, physics, language and communication studies, which allow for a phenomenological approach to learning. In the first year, students work in small groups on a full-time basis.
Students will choose their major at the end of their first-year studies. Major studies develop and deepen students’ professional competence. Students are not allowed to choose their major but are involved in the search and selection of the major at the end of the first year of study. The selection process takes place twice a year and the studies start twice a year in August and January. Only some of the majors start in January.
Starting in August, 7 majors will be offered: Health Technology, Game Development, Software Engineering (fin), Software Engineering (eng), Web Development and Digital Media, Smart IoT Systems: embedded IoT devices and Smart IoT Systems: IoT and Networks. The Smart IoT Systems and 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.
Four majors will start in January: Health Technology, Software Engineering (fin), Software Engineering (eng), Smart IoT Systems: Embedded IoT devices.
The Finnish software engineering major focuses on machine learning towards the end of the major and the English software engineering major on mobile development.
Structure of the degree (240 ECTS)
• Orientation to Information Technology 60 ECTS
• Fundamental Professional Studies 30 ECTS
• Advanced Professional Studies 65 ECTS

The content of the studies is based on a working life and partly on phenomenon-based learning. Some of the studies are linked, where appropriate, to Metropolia's innovation hubs and multidisciplinary projects there. Where appropriate, the principles of sustainable development will be taken into account in the implementation of the courses. Students also have the opportunity to complete part of their studies as exchange students at international partner universities. The work placement will enable students to apply their knowledge and skills in practice and to develop professionally through work-based learning.
Development
The curriculum was developed to target the needs of working life in the field of ICT. The Advisory Council of the School of ICT has approved the curriculum.
