As a graduate in software engineering, you will be able to develop profitable, sustainable and user-friendly solutions for different needs. You will understand that software and IT hardware are tools for solutions: they often serve as an essential support for other disciplines, in addition to creating opportunities and services themselves. 

Overview

Software and technology have become increasingly important in our daily lives. With the aid of digitalisation, societies are renewing their structures and operations, which offers countless opportunities for IT experts. Programming skills give you the tools to solve great societal challenges. Challenges can be related to, for example, digitalisation, reducing energy consumption, the research and development needs of the business world or guiding consumer behaviour towards sustainability. Societal or organisational problems may also be solved by introducing a new software service, product or system to provide assistance and information to the people around us. 

The Bachelor's Programme in Software and Systems Engineering is a unique, international double degree programme developed in cooperation with Hebei University of Technology (HEBUT) in China. Students admitted to the Bachelor's Programme in Software and Systems Engineering at LUT University will receive a degree certificate from two universities after they have fulfilled the degree requirements of both universities. You will complete the entire degree in Lahti, Finland. After completing a bachelor's degree in software engineering, you can continue your studies directly in the Master's programmes at LUT in the field of software engineering.

You can apply to this programme either through rolling or regular admission process. See detailed entry requirements for rolling admission and regular admission.  

There are many reasons why software engineering is so popular, such as good job security, high starting salaries, and diverse job opportunities across industries. After graduation, you will have good competencies to work as an expert in the software industry in development, management and business development.
