INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Bachelor of Engineering 240 cr

”Robosoccer takes me all around the
world”

Lars
Wikström studies in the degree
programme in Information
Technology and plans
to graduate in spring 2008. He leaves for
Vienna, Austria in autumn 2007 to study robotics
and mechatronics
and stays there for six
months.

Your Motives to Choose VAMK?

It was a great chance to meet
new people,
especially as I study in an international class
where
the Finns are in minority. It’s good
that we have two years of general
studies
before choosing a specialization alternative, it
really
helped me to find out what I was
interested in. Along the way
I have also
developed my language and social skills in a
good way.

Your Experiences of
Practical Training?

Part of my
practical training I have gotten through the
robot soccer project which is a really good
addition to the theoretical lectures. I think
practical training is important in order to be
able to understand how to put theory in
practice.

Your Opinion of the
Degree Programme?

The best
courses have been the lab courses and some of
the math courses which have really helped me to
see how everything is connected from one thing
to another. Of course there are some not so
useful
courses as well but with the right
attitude you can learn something
new from
every situation.

The Best
Memories of the Studies?

There
are many good
memories and more to come as
well, but so far the highlights are
the trips
to Robocup 2006 in Bremen, Germany and
Robocup
2007 in Atlanta, USA. Other great
moments I have got as tutor for
international
exchange students and by meeting a lot of
interesting
people all around the
world.

Your Plans for the
Future?

I don’t plan to jump on
the first
job I can find just to get into the
business. It’s worth spending
some time on fi
nding a job you really like. I have also planned
to
continue studies for a masters degree but
nothing is decided yet.
I will not stress
myself with thinking too far ahead, first I want
to
enjoy my exchange studies in
Austria.

The objective of the degree programme in
Information Technology is to prepare students for
demanding careers in the industry. The first year
the students explore PC engineering along with
computer game and micro support. In the years to
follow, the education is focused on e.g. Hardware
Orientation and Game Programming problems. The
student’s ability to adapt to new tasks in the
rapidly changing industry is emphasised. The
degree programme provides a wide course selection.
The education
relies on the modern facilities
of the Technobothnia technology research
laboratory and the high-level expertise of the
lecturers.

Careers

Graduates have the competence to work in
positions within design, research, production,
marketing and product development in the field of
electronics and information technology, as well as
entrepreneurs or in international positions in
export companies.

Study Methods

The degree programme provides a wide course
selection. The education relies on the modern
facilities of the Technobothnia technology
research laboratory and the high-level expertise
of the lecturers. Cooperation with the working
life gives students good possibilities to
participate in projects made for the industry
throughout their studies. The students also
have the opportunity to gain international
experience by participating in student exchange or
practical training abroad.
