Bachelor's Programmes

We contribute to teaching in the three different bachelor majors:

Master's Programmes

The Master's Programme in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences (CCIS) offers both broad and focused majors. It is the largest IT programme in Finland both in number of students and size of the faculty!

The programme provides also an excellent basis for doctoral studies. Many successful students work first as research assistants, then complete their Master's thesis at the department, and later continue as doctoral students.

Acoustics and Audio Technology - Computer, Communication and Information Sciences, Master of Science (Technology)

The major in Acoustics and Audio Technology equips students with a fundamental understanding of human hearing, audio perception, and physics of sound. The skills they acquire enable, for example, reducing noise pollution, planning harmonic environments and designing coherent sound experiences.

Signal Processing and Data Science - Computer, Communication and Information Sciences, Master of Science (Technology)

In the Signal Processing and Data Science major, you will learn to extract useful information, discover patterns, and make predictions from large amounts of signal or data. You get to apply your knowledge to the physical world – making devices, systems and entities smarter and more environmentally friendly.
