The Bachelor’s Programme in Computer Science provides skills that are useful both now and in the future, in workplaces as well as in research. The field offers a bright outlook for employment. Bachelor’s graduates find diverse job opportunities matching their qualifications, and the Bachelor of Science degree qualifies them for continued studies in the Master’s Programme in Computer Science or the Master’s Programme in Data Science
The Bachelor’s Programme in Science is a multidisciplinary international bachelor’s programme in the natural sciences. Based on research in physics, chemistry, mathematics and statistics, computer science and data science, the programme offers comprehensive skills and competence, providing a solid basis for master’s studies in these fields.
The Bachelor’s Programme in Science is taught in English.
The Master’s Programme in Computer Science will help you gain the skills required of experts in your chosen field of specialisation. You can choose studies from the focal areas of computer science research: algorithms, information networks or software engineering.
The master’s programme is multilingual, but teaching is provided in English. Courses and theses can also be completed in Finnish or Swedish, unless reasons related to teaching require otherwise. In our multilingual programme, students are a part of an international community of students and researchers.
The Master’s Programme in Data Science will provide you with in-depth understanding of the methods applied in data science. Data science is a modern combination of computer science and statistics, which solves problems related to the analysis and use of different types of data sets both in industry and in various fields of science. The demand for data scientists is on the rise, as data collection and analysis are becoming increasingly common throughout society. You will learn the operating principles of different methods, which will enable you to not only apply but also create solutions for new challenges in data science.
The master’s programme is multilingual, but teaching is provided in English. Courses and theses can also be completed in Finnish or Swedish, unless reasons related to teaching require otherwise.
The Master’s Programme in Theoretical and Computational Methods provides a solid foundation in theoretical methods, modelling and mathematical and numerical analysis in physics, mathematics, chemistry and/or computer science. What makes this degree programme special is that students can combine studies from all the disciplines into a broad-ranging degree. It is well suited for the needs of basic research and various fields of application.
The master’s programme is multilingual, but teaching is provided in English. Courses and theses can also be completed in Finnish or Swedish, unless reasons related to teaching require otherwise.
The Master’s Programme in Atmospheric Sciences will help you understand key questions related to climate change, air quality and changing weather patterns. The programme is also the only degree programme educating meteorologists in Finland.

The Master’s Programme in Life Science Informatics offers a unique opportunity to study at the Helsinki Institute of Life Science (HiLIFE) at Kumpula, Viikki and Meilahti campuses. The institute provides an excellent, international environment for world-class research in its fields. In the multidisciplinary environment, students can design their studies in many different ways and take part in solving the big questions of natural sciences at the intersection of disciplines.
The master’s programme is offered in English.
The doctoral education provided by the Faculty of Science creates next-generation top researchers, which is why we recruit the most talented and motivated doctoral students. The degree qualifies graduates for an international research career in the best universities and for demanding specialist positions in society. The doctoral education is based on research carried out by the Faculty’s numerous highly esteemed international research groups, including several Academy of Finland centres of excellence.
At the Faculty of Science, studies for the doctoral degree are carried out within doctoral programmes, which require a separate application. Kumpula Campus is home to the Doctoral School in Natural Sciences. The Faculty’s doctoral degree can also be completed in one of eight doctoral programmes run by other doctoral schools.
The Department of Computer Science provides open, high-quality online courses free to everyone. You can find suitable courses in the diverse range of education irrespective of your level of knowledge. Beginners can start off with the basics of programming or the Elements of AI course, while those upgrading their knowledge can focus on cybersecurity or full stack programming, for example.
