Master`s programme (120 credits) in Information Technology

Master’s programme (120 credits) in
Information Technology
A two year programme offered in co-operation between universities in Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland. Detailed information on the programme is found at www.it-master.org.
At the programme you can develop your knowledge of signal analysis, communication
technique and computer science. You also gain experience in project work for research and
development and of acting in an international environment in several European countries. The
programme is given completely in English. The European cooperation makes the total cost for
tuition fees for this programme comparatively low.
The programme is offered jointly by:
• Halmstad University in Sweden.
• Wroclaw Technical University in Poland.
• Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences in Lemgo, Germany.
• Ålborg University in Esbjerg, Denmark.
All students at the programme spend their first semester in either Halmstad or Wroclaw,
where they develop a common ground of mathematics, programming, computer architecture
and signal analysis. In the second semester students choose to specialize in some aspect of
Information Technology. This second semester is spent in either Halmstad or Lemgo. The
third semester is spent either in Esbjerg, Lemgo or Wroclaw. In either place a large part of this
semester’s work is a project, performed by a group, where students practice their specialized
knowledge from previous semesters.
Each student chooses the places of study, but has to spend the first three semesters at either
two or three different universities. Students are supported by a well-developed system for the
transitions between the universities. In the fourth semester a thesis is done at one of the universities where the student studied in the first three semesters. This university issues the degree
after completion of the thesis.
