Teaching 2012

The basic degrees in computer science are Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Master of Science (MSc). The major subject in both the degrees is Computer Science. The common ground of the BSc is followed by three separate subprogrammes at the MSc level. Two of these, namely Algorithms and machine learning and "Networking and Services" are completely in English; "Software systems" remains to be in Finnish. In addition, there is a separate "Master Programme in Bioinformatics" coordinated at the department.

High-quality teaching and the long-term investments to the development of teaching has been focal points in the educational arrangements at the department. The department is one of only 10 units awarded the status of centre-of-excellence in higher education in Finland for years 2010-2012. After 2012, no centres have been selected nationally.

 

In Autumn 2012, the second floor of Exactum was re-furnished, and now students can meet and work there in a more relaxed style than in the class rooms.
