Bachelor in Information Technology

In the Information Technology bachelor’s degree programme at Arcada, you will learn software development with an emphasis on intelligent robotics, data processing and analytics. By the time you graduate, you will have a solid understanding of the interaction between programming and artificial intelligence. You will know how to design and develop web apps, build different kinds of cloud-based services, and much more. The studies focus on artificial intelligence, the development and application of data analysis, information visualization, and prognosis.

During your studies, you will be trained in programming, visualizing, analyzing, and managing the copious datasets used to develop software that can, for instance, make smart decisions and predictions.

From day one, you will build practical skills for the workplace, working with web, mobile, and cloud platforms in software development. You will be working in close collaboration with the industry, and gain valuable work experience during your studies thanks to our internships.

After the start of your studies, you will choose one of two specialization modules:

1. Intelligent Robotics
2. Data Processing & Analytics

If you choose the Intelligent Robotics specialisation you will learn how to integrate social robots into daily practice, UX/UI design with an emphasis on creating user-centric interfaces, and how to analyze and process sensor data collected from smart and distributed environments.

If you study Data Processing & Analytics, you will learn how to structure, manage and analyze data that supports the development of software for data-driven decision-making, how to store data efficiently with scalability in mind, as well as descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics.

Please note: As this is a new degree programme, Arcada will offer only first-year courses in the academic year 2025-2026. This means that it is not possible to apply for a transfer of credits. Please contact Arcada for more information.
