Master Information Technology, Bachelor and Master of Science (3+2 years)

About this course

BSc in Information Technology at UEF gives the student the core knowledge of Computer Science. Core contains basic and advanced programming, algorithms, data management, software design, human-computer interaction, etc. In addition to Computer Science studies, the students take 1-2 minor subjects, such as Data Science, Business, Law, Social Sciences, and Environmental Sciences. BSC in IT is a full-time, three-year program. Most of the studies are conducted in contact teaching at Joensuu/Kuopio. Part of the courses are implemented together with the Bachelor of Engineering (Information and Communication Technology) programme of the Karelia University of Applied Sciences. After completing the Bachelor's degree, students continue directly to the Master's degree programme in Information Technology (IMPIT) which is a two-year MSc programme offering strong research opportunities. The aim is that most students are employed by a Finnish ICT company when they graduate. Some of these companies offer internships and thesis placements and many of our students find a job even before the graduation. It is also possible to concentrate on research, and students have good possibilities to continue in our PhD program, since students can join our research groups already during their MSc studies.
