The first year of the information technology degree programme consists of master, advanced and elective level computer science studies and the second year is reserved for individual work on an it-project (a larger software project) and on a master's thesis. One of the aims is that as many students as possible can be employed by a Finnish ICT-company during the second year. Research orientation is also possible to integrate into the degree studies as students can join several research groups at the Departments. The awarded master's degree is accepted in Europe, USA and world-wide as a qualification for PhD postgraduate studies. For post-graduate opportunities, see impdet.org.
