The aim of Information Systems studies at Turku School of Economics (TSE) is to facilitate the understanding and management of information systems. The emphasis in the courses lies on the role of information technology in business and management of information resources. Teaching methods include lectures for small and large classes, as well as seminars. Learning by doing is emphasised, and in many courses students prepare reports and work on cases in group. Experts from various companies are regular guests on our courses to share their knowledge with our students.
