Courses for Information and Communication Technology
The three-year bachelor's programme in Information and Communication Technology consists of six terms of courses. Each term consist of approximately 30 ECTS credits. The courses presented on this page apply to studies starting in autumn 2023.
Year 1
The first year of the programme will give you basic knowledge in electronics and computer engineering, software engineering, computer science and mathematics. These fields create a strong foundation for the rest of the programme which is based mainly on these fields. The first year will also give you an insight into your future profession.
Mandatory courses
- Programming I (ID1018) 7.5 credits
- Digital Design (IE1204) 7.5 credits
- Embedded Electronics (IE1206) 7.5 credits
- Introduction to IT (II1306) 1.5 credits
- Computer Hardware Engineering (IS1200) 7.5 credits

- Algebra and Geometry (SF1684) 7.5 credits
- Calculus in One Variable (SF1685) 7.5 credits
- Basic Course in Mathematics (SF1690) 6.0 credits
Year 2
During the second year you will deepen and broaden your knowledge. You will reach an understanding in how products and services within information technology functions, and also gain ability to develop these systems yourself. The knowledge acquired in the first two years is then applied in a project where you choose to either develop a software system or to build an autonomous robot.
Mandatory courses
