14 EDUCATION: EDUCATING EXPERTS WITH INFLUENCE

In the midst ofchanges, students’ voices should be heard.

I am in my second year of studies in the English-medium Master’s Degree Programme in Information Systems. My discipline focuses on the human and aims to create IT solutions that serve people’s needs as well as possible.

At the university, I especially value that I am given responsibility over the implementation and progress of my studies. If I need support and guidance, I can contact a part-time teacher or even an internationally renowned professor anytime. And what is the best, students are treated as equals and in a relaxed manner.

The University of Jyväskylä has successfully created a physical environment that inspires students and supports studying. The other aspects of social life are also lively, including the subject associations and the student union.
