Information and Communications Technology (CBU)
The CBU Master's Degree Programme in Information and Communications Technology is organised jointly by four Finnish and three Russian universities. The programme is designed for students who already have a Bachelor’s or a equivalent degree in the fields of computer science or information technology. The programme is open to applicants from all over the world. All tuition is based on top research and organised fully in English. The MSc is worth 120 ECTS credits and students are expected to complete their studies in two years. Half of the studies have to be cross-border-related and courses take place both in Finland and in Russia. Students of this program will also participate in the summer and winter schools organised by the participating universities.
There are seven partner universities in the programme:
Lappeenranta University of Technology (co-ordinator)
University of Joensuu
University of Kuopio
University of Helsinki
St. Petersburg State University
St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University
Petrozavodsk State University
Each university has its area of specialisation and, depending on the individual university, students can choose among a variety of subjects such as intelligent computing, modern communication technology, data communication, software engineering, user oriented technology, data analysis and modelling, and scientific computing.
In addition to deep understanding of computer science, the graduates acquire intercultural competence and comprehensive insight on both Finnish and Russian society. Graduates of the programme will have special competence for cross-border cooperation, which will promote their recruitment in the international job market.
The Finnish-Russian Cross-Border University CBU promotes educational cooperation between Finland and Russia. Six CBU joint Masters’ degree programmes will be in operation in the autumn 2007.
