Business Information Technology JAMK University of Applied Sciences

Overview

The focus of the Business Information Technology students at JAMK University of Applied Sciences follow closely the needs of the companies in the game industry. The ever-changing requirements of the corporate world are well integrated into the programme.

Learning by doing is the main theme in this programme. This principle is utilized in almost all the modules and courses in the programme. In addition to face-to-face courses the learning goals are achieved by doing exercises and course wide assignments. The assignments can be e.g. developing a small size proof of concept game or a theme song of a game. The assessment is mostly done by recognizing the skills and knowledge face-to-face with the teacher in charge. Exams are used deliberately.
