How to choose your courses

The vast majority of courses offered in English at the Faculty of Information Technology are at Master's level and they are open for the degree and exchange students of the Faculty. However, advanced Bachelor's level exchange students (usually 3rd year students with good study performance) may choose Master's level courses provided they fulfill the course specific prerequisites. 

The list is updated for the following academic year annually in June; incoming exchange students make their initial course selections in the spring based on previous year's course provision.

Some of the courses are fully taught in English while some are delivered as independent study option in English and the taught element is in Finnish only; therefore, some courses may have teaching schedules in Sisu even if it is only available as independent study in English without any taught component. Always check the course description.

The first three digits of the course code express the host subject, the fourth digit expresses the level of studies:

  • xxxPxxx = Bachelor's (1st year) level course
  • xxxAxxx = Bachelor's (2nd-3rd year) level course
  • xxxSxxx = Master's level course
  • xxxJxxx = Doctoral level course
     
  • ITK = Common core studies of the IT Faculty
  • TJT = Information Systems
  • KOG = Cognitive Science
  • KYB = Cyber Security
  • TIE = Computer Science; technical background required

You are also allowed to chose courses clearly marked available for ALL from other Faculties. 

You can find courses available for all from the curriculum in the study guide (under Other JYU Studies - Studies open for all exchange students of JYU) below.
