Overview

Software product management defines how the life cycle of a digital product is managed, planned and governed. Continuous business changes imposed by new technology and the digitalisation of businesses and the society form the environment for modern software development.

The programme combines business with software engineering in modern software platforms and ecosystems. 

To start the studies directly with a pre-existing Bachelor's degree, at least 24 ECTS credits in software engineering or related subjects (computer science, information sciences or information technology) are required, but the Bachelor's degree may be from a different field.

The Software Product Management and Business programme from LUT University  is well suited for people already in the working world because it mainly utilises blended and hybrid teaching. Contact teaching is arranged on the Lahti campus on average once a month on Fridays from 9.00 to 17.00. All other teaching is conducted as online lectures, recordings, etc.
