The programme on Algorithms and Machine Learning is strongly science-based, and it is especially suitable for research-orientated MSc students. In this programme you are educated in computationally efficient algorithmic techniques needed in processing large volumes of data and and learning from it.
The topics of study include machine learning, data mining, probabilistic models, information-theoretic modelling, unsupervised learning, string algorithms, and approximation algorithms. Graduates are employed as technical specialists or scientists - they often continue their studies towards a PhD degree.

Accreditation
Finnish Universities are accredited by the law. Universities are responsible for the quality and continuous development of their education and other operations. Legislation also requires them to regularly perform external evaluations of their operations and quality systems and to publish the results of such evaluations. Finnish HEIs decide on their own quality systems, and the comprehensiveness, functioning and effectiveness of the systems are evaluated in the audits, which are valid for six years.
