ICT Summer School

Welcome to ICT Summer School!

ICT Summer School 2026 will be organized on 3 August - 21 August 2026.

Why participate ICT Summer School?

• International Environment: ICT Summer School brings together participants and teachers from all around the world, creating a diverse and multicultural learning environment. You will have the opportunity to network with fellow participants, learn from their experiences, and make new friends. Participants are students from different degree programmes, exchange students and Open UAS students.
• Experienced Teachers: Summer school teachers are our partner university professors or industry experts who are teaching their favorite subjects in summer school, bringing their expertise and enthusiasm to the classroom to inspire you.
• Intensive Courses: Courses will provide you with knowledge and hands-on experience in a short period of time.
• Wide Range of Subjects: Although most courses are engineering related, some courses go beyond engineering or IT topics and cover multidisciplinary areas such as business and communication so that students from different fields of study can all participate.
• Hands-on Learning: Courses emphasize hands-on learning through practical assignments, case studies, and group projects.

Studying in ICT Summer School

In addition to course lessons, you will have assignments, exercises or project to work on in your own time. Please make sure you have time in your own schedule for these activities as well.

Each course has a workspace in Metropolia OMA service. Please follow the course workspace when the start of the course is approaching. It will appear on the front page of OMA when the course begins. Before that, you can search it by using the search field.

If a course requires for you to prepare in advance (for example downloading specific software), you will find the instructions in the course workspace in OMA. If the course uses a learning environment outside OMA, you will find a link to it in the same workspace.

Announcements from the workspace will be sent to students' Metropolia email. Please check it as well when the start of the course is approaching.

Partner university students and Open UAS students will receive Metropolia user account and instructions to activate it after they have been registered for the course. With the user account, you can log in to OMA service and Metropolia email.
