The education activities at the Department cover both B.Sc. and M.Sc. level degrees, as well as the doctoral degree which requires clear contributions to the scientific understanding in the field of communications engineering. B.Sc. level studies are intended for Finnish students only, whereas M.Sc. and doctoral studies are offered also for international students. Important focus areas in the education are, for example communications networks and protocols, data security, wireless communications, and communication circuits. Also wireless sensor networks as well as positioning and navigation are important areas, offered in collaboration with other departments.
The amount of teaching staff at the Department is around 10, and in practice, the majority of the researchers also participate in teaching.

The International Master’s Degree Programme in Information Technology equips students with basic abilities in scientific work in the field and with the general ability to perform the tasks of an IT engineer. The profession includes the design, implementation and technical applications of systems based on data processing, automation and data transmission, without excluding abilities to work as a researcher, teacher or manager. In addition, students can utilise their information technology knowledge in other branches of engineering.
The International Master's Degree Programme in Information Technology is available for all Finnish and international students, who have completed a B.Sc. degree in a field related to the discipline. More information, for example description of the application process and the areas of specialisation, is available at the degree programme's own web-site.
The International Master's Degree Programme in Electrical Engineering offers qualified students a two-year programme of study in one of the following areas: RF electronics, wireless communications and smart grids in electrical energy distribution. The programme includes partly the same studies as the former Master's Degree Programme in Radio Frequency Electronics.
The International Master's Degree Programme in Electrical Engineering is available for those who hold a B.Sc. degree preferably in electronics. More information, for example description of the application process, is available at the degree programme's own web-site.
If you are interested in postgraduate studies at the Department, please contact professor who is responsible for research focus area closest to our own interest.
Study guidance is available during academic terms, contact teaching personnel and arrange a meeting. Professors are also available during office hours without meeting reservation. You can also use services provided by the Coordinators of the Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering when you need help for planning your studies.
Course material and additional literature is mostly available in Moodle and courses' own home pages. Best starting point will be POP which will redirect you to the correct location.
