How can I apply?
The applicant applies directly to one or more of the three different tracks offered within the master’s degree programme:
Master’s Degree Programme in Information Technology: Computer Engineering (Turku), Master of Science (Technology)
Master’s Degree Programme in Information Technology: Computer Engineering (Vaasa), Master of Science (Technology)
Master’s Degree Programme in Information Technology: Computer Science (Turku), Master of Science (2 years)
Students applying to the Master’s Programme in Information Technology will be able to rank the three available tracks (Computer Science in Turku and Computer Engineering with a specialization in software engineering in Turku or Vaasa) in order of preference in the application form. We encourage the student to apply to both of the specializations (Computer Science and Computer Engineering). All applicants must meet the academic and language requirements.
Admission requirements
