The primary study goal in the Master’s Programme in Theoretical and Computational Methods is to develop analytical and computational skills universally applicable to model various phenomena quantitatively. Below are examples of different possible study paths, each focusing on different concrete phenomena. Each example also has an outline suggesting a two-year schedule for relevant studies. These are mainly intended to provide ideas for drawing a study plan, which you can of course develop towards directions you find interesting. Your final study plan also depends on what you have already learned in your prior studies.
Please note that there might be changes in course offerings, and the actual teaching times may differ from what is presented here. Always check the availability of the courses for the current academic year in the course catalogue.
Thanks to the contracts for cross-institutional studies, you can also take certain courses at other universities in Finland, for example, at Aalto University. Browse the cross-institutional study opportunities in Studies service.

The thesis (30) would be completed in year 2, and you could attend relevant research seminars throughout the programme as well as a relevant masters seminar course (5).
For a given period, it is recommended to choose around 3 courses relevant for studies/track.
