Information technology (IT) diffuses into our working life, as well as in our everyday life, in many ways. This automatically results in a growing need for IT experts in modern society. We aim at producing experts who can help the large international companies and local players in their product development and technical applications related to IT.
As an IT student, you will become familiar with certain programming languages, such as C and Java, as well as with some essential technical tools, e.g., IP applications, wireless networks, Internet programming, and a variety of embedded systems. The advanced professional studies focus on internationalization and teamwork in projects, such as our robotics soccer team. You will focus on technical applications from the practical point of view, keeping your feet at today, but leaning toward the future.
