Ministry of Education and Culture
The build-up of your skills and competences is divided into following annual themes:
During the first academic year, you will build a strong basis for your engineering skills and knowledge by studying mathematics, physics and basics studies of ICT engineering. You will also learn basics of software engineering. According to the study plan, you will complete the first practical training after the first academic year.
During the second academic year, you will deepen your ICT engineering skills and knowledge. You will study topics of modern software engineering, but you will also increase your basic engineering knowledge and language skills. According to the study plan, you will complete the second practical training after this academic year.
During the third academic year, you will continue deepening your software engineering skills and knowledge, mostly by studying advanced topics of modern software engineering. You will be capable of applying and deepening your knowledge and skills in practical areas of working life. According to the study plan, you will complete the third practical training after this academic year.
During the fourth academic year, you will study advanced topics of modern software engineering. You will highly increase your professional software engineering skills and knowledge and gain versatile competence to understand the latest technologies, applications and methods of modern software engineering. During the fourth academic year, you will compile a Bachelor’s Thesis to present your competences in the field of software engineering.
The growing demand of software engineering specialists gives a vast variety of working possibilities. After graduation, you have competence to work for example as Software Engineer, Software Developer, Software Architect, Software Consultant, Data Engineer, Web Application Developer, Web Programmer and Mobile Application Developer.
The Bachelor of Engineering degree gives you eligibility for Master's degree programmes in many universities offering programmes in ICT engineering.
Assessment of study performances is based on TAMK’s assessment criteria
The detailed assessment criteria can be found in course implementation plans. The teaching and assessment methods are agreed on with students at the beginning of each course.
TAMK Degree Regulations
Completion of studies and achievement of competence objectives in the extent set by the curriculum.
