Students learn how to use mathematics as an efficient language to express and understand physics and technology. In the third semester students learn about design and the tools of the engineer. The semester is thus concentrated on computer science and technology. The fifth semester is dedicated to project work where IT-students team up with students from the economics and psychology programmes. In one of the projects a robot is constructed, while its designers pay consideration to both economic and technical aspects.
Communication plays an important role in the programme in many respects.
Students learn data communication and data handling in a broad sense, and they also learn how to communicate orally and in writing. To the top Profiles of Specialization During the third and fourth year students select a profile of specialization. Besides mandatory courses, elective courses are also included in the studies. There is also the option to design one s own specialization, selecting courses rather freely from this programme and possibly from other LiTH programmes as well. Besides subjects such as medical informatics and medical sensor technology, medical courses such as anatomy and physiology are also included in this profile.
