Skills produced by the degree programme
The Degree Programme in Business Information Systems enables the students’ growth into ICT professionals. The aim is to train enterprising, collaborative and self-developing ICT professionals in close collaboration with the working life.
Flexible curriculum and diverse focus areas offer the students good opportunities to specialise in the fields they are most interested in.
Focus areas of the degree programme include: digital entertainment and services (e.g. game development) software production and testing, data network and server system services, information security, rapid application and development of new technologies, working in the customer interface and ICT entrepreneurship.
Business skills have a strong place in the degree programme. This creates a good premise for the students to work in companies in expert tasks or as independent entrepreneurs.
The students begin their studies in teams under the guidance of a coach. In the beginning of studies, the focus is on the basic contents of different ICT focus areas through projects and team learning. The studies also cover the necessary team work skills as well as good written and spoken communication in Finnish and in English.
As the studies progress, the students deepen their skills in the focus areas of their choosing. Working life connections are constantly developed by carrying out projects for different organisations, a 5-month practical training and writing a practical Bachelor’s thesis which demonstrates skills in the students’ own field.
