Recruit students from the IT faculty
We have about 2,800 degree students in the Faculty of Information Technology. Our students have wide-ranging and international expertise, and their education comprehensively combines the perspectives of technology, information, organisations, business, and people.
You can recruit our students to work as interns or on different projects and theses
Internship
You can offer our students internships and jobs all year round. We will forward the internship advertisement to the faculty students on your behalf.
The aim of an internship is to give students the opportunity to learn more in practical situations, get to know working life and make contacts with companies and public organisations.

Master’s thesis
Does your company have a study or practical topic that could be the subject of a master's thesis from information technology or engineering? We welcome proposals for thesis topics that involve collaboration with business and industry. Master’s theses are 30 credits, which corresponds to about six months of work (including writing).
It should be noted that the thesis itself is public, and therefore the work should not contain any non-public information.
Projects by students
Many of our degree programmes include project-based courses, which can be based on real business problems or RDI issues.
- In a bachelor's degree programme, projects are usually around 5 credits (140 h) in scope.
- In master's and engineering degree programmes, projects are at least 10 credits (280 h) in scope
The engineering studies also include multidisciplinary projects involving students from information and software engineering and other disciplines. If your company has a research or product development problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach, you can submit it for a multidisciplinary project.
