Of all the technologies that drive digital transformation in the enterprise, people often tout artificial intelligence (AI) as perhaps the most disruptive of all.
Artificial Intelligence, a branch of computer science, can already perform demanding tasks, if taught and trained by humans. There is a growing demand for programmers with hands-on experience and understanding of these tools that can harness the power of AI in different use-cases.
Finland has huge potential to become one of the leading countries in exploiting the benefits of AI. Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK), an international higher education institution, situated in the region of Satakunta in the beautiful coastal area of Finland has launched two of its newest courses: bachelors in artificial intelligence and robotics.
Known for its quality of education, students have ranked SAMK to be among the five best universities of applied sciences. Students at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) – Pori Campus will get hands on experience on applying AI-tools in co-operation with the vivid ecosystem of companies in the field of artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics.
The school has campuses in the picturesque towns of Pori and Rauma. It combines innovative Finnish design and functionality in a way that aims to enhance the student experience. Currently, there are approximately 6,000 enrolled students. Out of the students, more than 300 are international exchange and degree students, coming from 60 different countries. The atmosphere at SAMK is truly international, and people from all over the world have sought after their top-quality degree programs.
SAMK also has great overseas relations, and over 190 partner universities all over the world. Furthermore, the international academic visiting staff bring their own inspiring addition to the multicultural atmosphere. International Café and other similar events also ensure that different cultures, languages and international atmosphere are visible on campuses.
Most of the students find a permanent job right after graduation. All programmes are accredited by Finland’s Ministry of Education. The degree programmes of International Business and Business Management and Entrepreneurship are being awarded NIBS International Accreditation for a period of 5 years from May 2018. SAMK has an emphasis on entrepreneurship. All students have compulsory entrepreneurship studies, which focus on understanding the meaning of entrepreneurship in the employment market and as a general factor promoting employment. In the Enterprise Accelerator the students can develop their own business idea and enterprise.
Cooperation with enterprises is an asset for the universities of applied sciences. SAMK has yearly about 300 student projects together with companies and organisations. Cooperation with enterprises gives the studies a practical view. Practical training is a part of all degrees. This means that all SAMK students must find a traineeship of their own field in an institution or a company. In project learning, in practical training and in a summer job the student learns in practice the skills needed at work and also to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired through studies.
