What is NMS iICT

General Information

Nordic Master School in Innovative ICT (NMS iICT) is a network of the International ICT Master Programmes at five world-class scientific universities in the Nordic countries: the University of Turku (UTU) and the Åbo Akademi University (ÅAU) in Finland, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the Tallinn University of Technology (TTÜ) in Estonia. This global Innovation Powerhouse offers high expertise in research based iICT education.

Structure

You study in one of the Master Degree Schools at one university, but you can customize your studies with an exchange period at another university of the NMS network. The NMS curricula are linked to the core competence research fields of the universities; by participating in an exchange period you are able to gain the core competences of more than one university. However, the exchange period is not an obligatory part of the programme, and studying the whole degree at one university provides excellent course selection possibilities as well. Upon graduation, in addition to the Master of Science degree (MSc), you will receive a Nordic Master School certificate from the network.

Want to turn your vision into venture?

We teach young professionals the necessary Innovation and Business skills that help them start their careers in the business world straight after graduation or even establish their own companies. An Innovation and Entrepreneurship study module is an obligatory part of the NMS program. Even if you aim at a career in academia rather than in business, these studies are guaranteed to benefit you in the future.

Why NMS?

The NMS programme certificate is a unique merit that gives you an edge for your future career with the core competence expertise combined with business skills and efficient networking.

The NMS network concept is completely new and does not suffer from the traditional limited view of learning technology just for technology. Instead we teach world-class competence, which will make you capable of applying technical innovations also in business too.
