What has been the most interesting course?
Definitely the first-year project course where we made a prototype of a practical product. Our group’s project was a monitor through which you could sign yourself in digitally using an NFC card. The project was a lot of fun! We had an opportunity to build different devices with microcontrollers and print on a 3D printer, to mention just a couple of examples. This autumn, I had the chance to work as a course assistant on this course.
How have your studies prepared you for working life?
First of all, I have already obtained a job at the university as a course assistant! I am sure it will be very useful when I apply for work in the future. The guild and the school organise various events and excursions that have provided us with an opportunity to see what kind of work graduates from our field engage in.
It is also very much possible that some of the students in my year will become my colleagues in the future.
What does the future of your field look like?
Our field is very diverse, and you can find employment anywhere!
This field is suitable for people who want to develop innovations and are interested in digital development. After the bachelor’s degree phase, there are several different options for a master’s programme, and I am particularly interested in the Software and Service Engineering major and UI/UX Design. I believe that I will have no difficulty finding a job in that sector.
The English programme is an excellent choice if you want to challenge yourself in an international environment. I believe that people who have not attended a general upper secondary school in English can also apply to the programme as long as they can write and express themselves in English.
