Studies are organised in multiple ways such as lectures, group work, projects, tutorials and self-study. Studies also require full-time attendance in most of the courses. You can also choose courses from on-line offerings. Metropolia gives you a possibility to take individual learning paths to ensure the smooth progress of your studies. You will study four 15 ECTS courses in the first year and the courses require full-time attendance. You will choose your major option during your first study year. You may choose major option out of the two options offered in Information Technology. Starting studies in major option requires that you have followed the curriculum as planned and have completed 60 ECTS. The major option will be offered if a sufficient number of students will choose the major option. We have limited study places in each major option. If the number of students applying for a major exceeds the number of study places, the selection criteria will be based on study success and other criteria defined by the degree program. Major option will give you an in-depth insight into the subject areas that are relevant and up-to-date in each major option. You can also extend your knowledge in any other major options by taking it as a minor option in your engineering studies. Major Options and course offerings in Major Options are subject to change.

Admission is based on entrance examination or SAT score. Sufficient English language skills are also required for degree programmes conducted in English. English language skills will be evaluated as part of the entrance exam.
