The nominal study period is 3 years, which is equivalent to 180 credits. The programme is at undergraduate level.

The programme provides a broad technical base with possibilities of specialization and optional elements further in. The first two years of study concentrate on the basics of programming, digital and microcomputer technologies, communication networks and database engineering, as well as algorithms and data structures. Mathematics, an important tool for an Information Technology engineer, is studied in a number of courses. The programme also contains courses which broaden technical knowledge with considerations such as economy and organisation, environmental and labour sciences and engineering fundamentals.

During the third year, one of three specializations is chosen:

• Software and System Development

• Computer Networking and Internet Services

• Software Development for Technical Systems

The programme is conducted primarily in Swedish. Further into the programme, certain subjects are in English, and some English course literature will be used.
