JYU and IT

The Faculty of Information Technology which was founded far back in 1998, is the first and largest of its kind in Finland. Nevertheless, Information Systems Science has been taught at the University of Jyväskylä since 1967.

At the University of Jyväskylä, Human Technology is one of the core fields and the Faculty of Information Technology plays a significant role towards that development. One of the Faculty’s primary strengths is its ability to view IT broadly, integrating various perspectives and identifying the joint effects of different phenomena. This is combined with internationally recognised research in the strategic areas, as well as with active societal interaction.
