How studies are implemented?
You can start your studies right after you have been accepted into Information Technology degree programme. You will study free, online studies offered by Metropolia. Studies allows you to study at your own pace, whilst working.
How ever, there might be some contact studies offered in the evenings at Karamalmi campus. It may also be possible to take daytime courses, if there are free study places. We expect you have own laptop. You will be linked to working-life throughout your studies via industry-related courses, like
- Innovation Project (10 credits)
- Compulsory language courses (5+5 credits, 10 credits altogether)
- Work placement (2 x 15 credits)
- Final Year Project, Bachelor`s Thesis (15 credits)
This gives you a chance to create useful networks and plan your future career whilst studying.
