Overview

Course Highlights

The Information Technology (IMPIT) program at University of Eastern Finland co-operates actively with local IT companies and local business incubator. The aim is that most students are employed by a Finnish ICT company when they graduate. Some of these companies offer internships and thesis placements and many of our students find a job even before the graduation.

It is also possible to concentrate on research, and students have good possibilities to continue in our PhD program, since students can join our research groups already during their MSc studies.

You can also have lots of interesting experiences through the social activities during your Information Technology (IMPIT) program at University of Eastern Finland studies. There are summer school courses organized by University of Eastern Finland, company seminars, and trips organized by Joensuu's exchange and international students organization.
