“I chose the Mobile Computing programme because of its very good course structure and course contents: I found all the subjects included that I wanted to study. Challenging assignments along the course work gave us direct practical exposure to all real-life problems.” (Sharmistha Chatterjee, Mobile Computing graduate 2011, currently working at Ittiam Systems, India)

“Completing a double degree was one of the best decisions of my life; two Master’s degrees in two years in topics that I really like and living in a country that I dreamt of visiting, Finland. During my stay, I got to see snow for the first time, know many different people from all over the world, travel to several new places and become more independent. Having just finished both Master’s degrees, I plan to take a traineeship position outside Europe to expand my horizons. However, I hope I get to return to Finland someday.” (André Palas Andrade, Mobile Computing double degree graduate 2011 from IST, Portugal)
