Details of the degree 2011-2012 can be found in the study guide.
The course Finnish for Beginners (3 cr) is recommended during the basic studies, as it gives a good basic knowledge of the language for everyday life and also provides a brief introduction to the Finnish culture. It is possible to study more Finnish or other languages in the university's language centre.
Major studies, 30 cr
The Radio Frequency Electronics Major aims at an extensive knowledge of highfrequency electromagnetic phenomena, functional blocks of electronic systems operating at high frequencies, their applications, and design methods. In addition to skills such as applying scientific methods to topical and concrete problems, the students will be able to participate the societal debate in the discipline. The courses to attain this goal are given by the Departments of Electronics and Communications Engineering.
Students will attain eligibility for doctoral studies in electronics, electromagnetics, communications engineering, digital and computer systems engineering, and signal processing.
Minor studies, 20-30 cr
Students choose one minor according to their own interests. Possibilities are:
Communications Engineering, Digital and Computer Electronics, RF ASIC Design, Switched-Mode Converter Design, Signal Processing or Biomedical Engineering.
Academic calender 2011-2012
The academic year starts in the end of August and ends in the end of May. It is compulsory for the new students to participate in the orientation week for the international students around the middle of August. A season break of typically two weeks is held at the end of each calendar year.
