Engineering of Data-intensive Intelligent Software Systems Åbo Akademi University

Overview

The Engineering of Data-intensive Intelligent Software Systems programme at Åbo Akademi University aims to bridge the gap between data scientists and software engineers by offering a range of courses that give the student a basis for engineering data-intensive intelligent software systems. 

Students will thus become experts in integrating data science and machine learning solutions into software and system engineering processes, which brings them to the forefront of the next generation of professionals that shape industry and society in the 21st century.

Key facts

• All students in the EDISS programme begin the master’s degree programme at Åbo Akademi University in Finland. 

• During the first year of the programme, students are offered a wide selection of courses that help them build strong theoretical tools to be able to master the skills, techniques and requirements of the second year specialization. 

• The area of specialization will determine which country and partner university the student will relocate to for the second year of the programme.

Career opportunities

• The job market has seen a significant growth in demand for expertise in data related fields. The expertise gained through the EDISS programme is still scarce among professionals in the field, a fact which serves as an advantage for graduates from the programme. 

• The highly international nature of the programme and broad opportunities to network and gain practical experience through the programme internship and master’s thesis work can help facilitate opportunities after graduation.
