Degree Program in Information Technology - International Master's Student |
| Head of the Degree Programme: | Moncef Gabbouj |
| Academic Studies Coordinator: | Elina Orava |
- The International Master's Degree Programme in Information Technology offers students an international study environment and prepares them for more flexible professional career opportunities in which mastering an international language, like English, is a standard requirement. The studies in information technology give students basic abilities in scientific work in information technology and general ability to perform the tasks of an information technology engineer. The profession includes the design, implementation and technical applications of systems based on data processing, automation and data transmission, not excluding abilities to work as a researcher, teacher or manager. In addition, students can apply the information technology in other branches of engineering.
- The programme offers seven alternative areas of specialization in Communications Engineering, Computational Systems Biology, Digital and Computer Electronics, Mathematics, Multimedia, Signal Processing and Software Systems.
- Students are able to complete the programme in two years; three semesters of course work and one semester for a final project (master's thesis). The programme leads to the degree of Master of Science in Technology, which qualifies the student to apply for doctoral studies.
- The International Master's Degree Programme in Information Technology was the first of its kind in Finland since it was founded in 1997, and it is among the most competitive and unique programmes in the Finnish universities with its multidisciplinary and flexible study opportunities of a high-standard and quality. The Programme is jointly organized by the following five institutes: Communications Engineering, Digital and Computer Systems, Mathematics, Signal Processing and Software Systems. It also cooperates with other departments of TUT.
- Basic and common studies provide a broad view of information technology and ensure that students will have the necessary mathematical and theoretical skills to follow courses in information technology. Basic and common studies are common to all students in the International Master's Degree Programme in Information Technology and the extent of the module is 15 credits.
- The compulsory courses of basic and common studies are listed below. In addition, the student selects freely additional courses from the list of elective courses to complete at least the minimum requirement of 15 credits.
Compulsory courses include 9 credits:
| Course | Credits |
| OHJ-1156 Programming II | 5 cr |
| SGN-1107 Introductory Signal Processing | 4 cr |
| TLT-2200 Telecommunication networks | 5 cr |
| Total | 14 cr |

| Study block | Credits |
| Information Technology | 25 cr |
Students complete this basic module in Information Technology as a compulsory prerequisite for the advanced studies. The advanced study module (major) must be completed from the area for which the student applied and was accepted to study.
Master's Thesis (30 cr)
- The Master's thesis is an extensive treatise, which trains the student for independent study and research, mastery of scientific methods, the convention of references, and the scientific mode of presentation in a good literary form.
- The thesis is conducted and written independently, yet under the supervision of a professor from the same discipline.
- The student shall participate in the master's thesis seminar, which supports the preparation of the thesis. In connection of the seminar, the student shall also write a maturity test, which is an essay written on a topic related to the thesis. The test demonstrates the student's command of the thesis topic.
