Industrial Master's Programme in IT for students
Combine studies with preparing for your career path!
The Industrial Master’s Programme in IT is a practical and innovative study programme that combines learning with real work experience. The programme connects first-year master’s students from the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Tartu with companies and organisations that are eager to contribute to IT talent development and provide students with hands-on industry experience. For students, this is a great opportunity to align two crucial phases of their journey: successfully completing their master’s studies on time while gaining practical experience to prepare for a successful career.
First-year master’s students from the Institute of Computer Science are eligible to apply. Students selected by partner organisations will participate in the programme during their second year of master’s studies.
Why Apply to the Industrial Master’s Programme in IT?
- By participating in the programme, you will have the opportunity to choose a master’s thesis topic that focuses on solving a real problem relevant to a partner organisation.
- Throughout the 11-month collaboration, you will gain practical experience as part of a partner organisation’s team while also fulfilling mandatory internship requirements.
- The programme offers opportunities for both professional and personal development.
- Participation in the programme includes a €1000 monthly stipend.
- Working closely with a company during the programme will help you build valuable industry connections and expand your career opportunities.
- Industry-specific tasks and real-world projects will help you develop skills that employers highly value.
If you wish to participate in the programme next academic year, apply for positions on 18 March at the latest.
First-year students of the Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science and Conversion Master in IT curricula who are on-track to graduate in nominal can apply to the program.
The program suits you especially well if you wish that the end of your master’s studies and beginning of your IT career are in sync. Our partners are hoping to find committed students from the program to whom they could make an employment offer once the program ends. Hence, it is not advisable to apply to the program if none of the participating partner companies are attractive to you.
The Industrial Master's Programme in IT takes place every year according to the following cycle:
The specific makeup of partner companies and organizations varies from year to year. Hopefully, there is something for every taste: from small enterprises to international corporations and from manufacturing to government institutions. Application to the IMP takes place according to specific positions and no matter where you end up, you will be supported by a supervisor from the partner company, an academic supervisor and the program coordinator.
Among other things, participants of the IMP have a chance to participate in a self-development seminar where, together with other participants, self-assessment is practiced on topics such as time management and focusing, managing stress and setting healthy goals.
The program lasts for a year: it begins in summer, when the second semester ends, and ends with the defense of your thesis (June, next year). Bear in mind that the assignments and thesis require, on average, 24 hours per week. The day-to-day specifics—location, working language, possibility of working from distance—depend on the particular partner company and those details are made public during the admission period.
Taking part in the program is a significant commitment which rules out going for an (Erasmus) exchange semester abroad. Students accepted to the program must waive all other scholarships currently held (for example the Ülo Kaasik stipend), the only exceptions being the Estonian needs-based study allowance and travel stipends. Be sure to read the conditions of specific stipends when applying.
Yes, of course. I had no experience beforehand, but this program gave me that. I actually chose this program just because of that. I heard that the Industrial Master’s Programme in IT is made to be easily accessible for students: you can develop professionally while studying and you get to do your thesis, which I am really grateful for. Definitely something to have on my CV.
