School of Computing that is situated on both Joensuu and Kuopio campuses provides high-quality education in the areas of computer science, information technology and statistics. Internationality is part of everyday life at the School. We engage in meaningful and international co-operation aimed at developing the education offered at the School to meet the future needs of society and working life.
Our internationally acclaimed research focuses on artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and technologies for education and development. AI and data mining have long been utilised in many fields, and data use and analysis are set to increase in the future.
The School of Computing currently offers an opportunity to complete an international double degree at the Master’s level. The opportunity of an international double degree is provided for doctoral studies as well. We also participate in the university’s Institute of Photonics network and currently offer two international Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree programmes in co-operation with the Department of Physics and Mathematics.

Studies
Computing has a wide range of applications. As a student, you can select the most interesting courses from among those offered at the School to build your own specialisation studies. During advanced studies, you will participate in courses related to the research carried out at the School on Computing.
Computing professionals are in high demand in working life. Our graduates find employment in, for example, the software industry, public administration, retail, teaching, and research. Teacher training in computing, on the other hand, provides qualifications to work as a primary, secondary or upper secondary school teacher, as well as the abilities to work as a trainer in working life. Experts in computing are also needed in high-tech research and development.
In addition to the international programmes taught in English, the school also offers degree programmes taught in Finnish.

Research
The three main areas of research at the School of Computing are: artificial intelligence, data science, and technologies for education and development. We engage in close co-operation with our partners, and the research we do is respected internationally.
The focus areas of our AI research are computational intelligence and speech as well as computational spectral imaging and machine learning. Data science is one of the modern society’s key drivers of change in both research and business. Our research is aimed at developing new methods for data analysis. Statistical methods, on the other hand, are the key tools used by researchers in all fields of science that are based on empirical data.
Research and development in educational technologies focus on new solutions for learning and development. Our society is digitalising rapidly, and new skills are constantly required to operate in it. Our research in interactive technologies focuses on eye-tracking, digital accessibility and human-computer interaction (HCI).
