FITech - Studies in ICT
FITech ICT aims to offer lifelong learning in information and communication technologies for 3,000–5,000 persons in Finland. The University of Vaasa offers adult learners basic studies in IT (in Finnish) and advanced study modules in digital management and robust intelligent systems. The courses will start in September. Participation is free of charge for adult learners due to funding for continuous learning from the Ministry of Education and Culture.
• Basic studies in IT (in Finnish)
• Digital Management (in English) for team leaders and R&D managers
• Robust Intelligent Systems (in English) for developers
You can extend your knowledge with one study unit or an entire study module. The basic studies begin with elementary knowledge. The advanced studies are suitable for persons with a higher education degree or equivalent knowledge. Check the prior knowledge requirements from the course web page and choose a suitable level. These university-level studies will give you ECTS credits. One ECTS credit is equivalent to 27 hours of work that consists of lectures, exercises, and independent studying. By updating your knowledge, you can better your position in working life and your future.
The first courses will start at the beginning of September. The basic studies in ICT and advanced studies in robust intelligent systems include contact teaching that will be video recorded and exercises on campus at suitable times for adult learners. Exercises are essential in learning to program and on demanding technical courses. The study module on digital management is almost entirely online.
The application period for a right to study begins at the beginning of June when links to the FITech website will be updated to this page. You can also search for courses directly on the FITech website. Apply for a right to study at Opintopolku at least one week before the study unit is set to begin. For example, if the first study unit of the study module will start on 2.9., apply to study that unit or the entire module in question before 26.8. It is best to be an early bird and secure your place to make sure your studies begin smoothly!
If you apply during the summer, your right to study will begin at the beginning of August when you will also get more information on the practicalities of beginning your studies. The schedules for tuition, exercises and exams are here.
Tietotekniikan peruskokonaisuus (25 op)
Tietotekniikan peruskokonaisuus lähtee alkeista, joten voit hakea opiskelemaan, vaikka et olisi koodannut aikaisemmin! Matemaattisen ajattelun osaaminen helpottaa koodaamisen oppimista. Voit myös valita yksittäisen opintojakson.
Kokonaisuuden jälkeen opiskelija osaa tietojärjestelmän kehittämisprosessin perusteet. Hän osaa web-ohjelmoinnin perusteet, suunnitella ja toteuttaa relaatiotietokannan sekä tehdä pieniä tietokoneohjelmia ohjelmoinnin perusrakenteita käyttäen.
Hän kykenee hyödyntämään olioperusteista mallintamista ohjelmistosuunnittelussa sekä ohjelmistotuotannossa. Opetettavia ohjelmointikieliä ja -työkaluja kokonaisuudessa ovat muun muassa PHP, JavaScript (ReactJS) ja UML.

Study modules in cooperation with the working life
Study modules that have been designed to meet the needs of the energy sector are in English. Digital Management is centred on managing the IT functions of a business. Robust Intelligent Systems will teach you to design and implement methods in various intelligent and learning systems.
Digital Management (20 ECTS)
During this module of digital management, the student will learn how to manage the information systems portfolio in a company and how to analyse and develop IT governance and processes. The student will learn how to analyse, design, plan and implement the strategy of the company with enterprise architectures, for example, transaction processing systems and decision support systems. The student will also learn methods and techniques to design, build and control project portfolios.
The student will decide whether to focus on designing services based on data, information and human expertise streams or to focus more on the business development side via building industrial product-service offerings, service blueprinting, and service pricing and delivery.
