Software, Web & Cloud, Computing Sciences (MS Tech)
Computers and software are an integral part of our daily lives. Interaction between people and computers takes different forms as computers are integrated into different systems from mobile devices to clouds.
Software, Web & Cloud (M.Sc. Tech) provides a solid understanding in software engineering: the ability to design and implement large software systems, and the competence to manage and improve software development processes. Technologies and skills in networking and clouds belong to the core of the studies. A rich variety of other studies in a range of topics such as business, information security, user experience, big data and IoT are available at Tampere University.
An exceptionally large number of IT companies in the Tampere region provide an inspiring environment and opportunities to apply your skills and address real-life challenges. The research activities and close collaboration with companies ensure that the contents of the degree program are both on a high level academically and relevant to the industrial positions.
