Communications Engineering

The world comprises networks that connect people and devices and are a prerequisite for all other technologies to work successfully. Developing, building, and maintaining networks is crucial for our future as new technologies keep emerging, and  ICT technology is one of the key enablers of sustainable development. For example, by connecting autonomous vehicles together and allowing them to share data, emissions can be reduced as traffic becomes smoother and more efficient. Thanks to the large number of chip manufacturers, mobile network vendors, and network operators, Finland offers the perfect, rare ecosystem for engineering modern networks. Here, you get to actually design and build future solutions that will be used by millions. The Communications Engineering major is part of the Master’s Programme in Computer, Communication, and Information Sciences (CCIS). The major prepares students to respond to the global need for modern and better networks. It consists of a strong technological core surrounded by human-centric understanding of user needs and behaviour. Upon graduating from the Communications engineering major, you have: ●      Excellent knowledge of technology fundamentals.
