Master of Science in Software Engineering is a joint curriculum of the University of Tartu and the Tallinn University of Technology. The current page contains information about the relevant courses given at the Tallinn University of Technology.

Campus information

To find your way around the TUT campus, please take a look at [1], there is also a map available there.

Accommodation

If you choose the the Embedded and Real-time software engineering specialization, then you will need to find a place to stay in Tallinn. The dormitory situation is very tight, so please make sure you book your places well ahead.

The information how to book a place at the dormitories can be found here.

For new students, please make sure you file your applications on the 1st of June! The system opens on June 1st, and the sooner you apply the higher you are in the queue. You should not file it earlier either because then your application will end in a pile with all other students, and it takes longer. Student can choose only two houses on the application, so have a look at different dormitory buildings here:[[2]]Siidisaba building is located not in the campus, but in Kristiine area, which is closer to city centre, but away from university. Campus office will start giving out offers starting July 3. Have a look at the campus website: [[3]]For students who plan to move after Autumn semester, November is about the latest time when to file an application with CampusTTU. Please note that students who have not stayed in TUT dormitories can follow the link "Send application". Students who have previously stayed at the dormitories need to follow the link "e-kyla login" and file the application from there. You can send yourself a password reminder from the page.

Access to TUT Study Information System

It is necessary to register to the courses given at TTÜ in TTÜ Study Information System (Õppeinfosüsteem, ÕIS for short). To access it you need to either

  • Use your ID card or residence permit with a chip to log in at https://ois.ttu.ee
  • There is another inteface to the same system at https://ois2.ttu.ee. Feel free to use the one that you feel more comfortable with. This interface allows you to log in using your Uni-ID (details in the next section).
  • If you do not have the chip card, you will need to go to the ÕIS admins in room SOC-132 to get a username and password.

There is a 5 min video explaining how to use OIS [[4]]

Login to lab computers, submission of homeworks

To log in to labs and to submit homeworks in many courses you will need to know your Uni-ID. You are able to find it out and set a password at pass.ttu.ee by again using your ID card or residence permit with a chip. (You are also able to log into the lab computers with the chip card).

If you do not have the chip card, you will be able to find out your Uni-ID and set passwords in room ICT-410 or at the IT HelpDesk, room SOC-129.

There is a learning environment ained.ttu.ee where you will get access using your Uni-ID based e-mail address. Once you have your Uni-ID access sorted, please navigate to ained.ttu.ee and choose the Office365 login. Use your Uni-ID based e-mail address in the form 'your-uni-id@ttu.ee' and set up your account in the system. You will later be able to join courses.

Timetables

It is possible to view the timetables by going to [5] and selecting "Timetables" from the left menu. Then look for your group (Autumn semester: IVSM11, IVSM12, IVSM31, IVSM32, Spring semester IVSM21, IVSM22).

Practical training

In software engineering you need to complete 18 ECTS worth of practical training. You can choose between getting credit for internships or doing project courses listed under the practical training module. The below information currently concerns only the credit for internships. Please note that starting with the 2016 cohort, the students choosing the Enterprise Software specialization will need to choose from the two course codes below (or both) to get credit for internships at companies. The embedded and real time software engineering students will need register their internships in University of Tartu.

To get your practical training assessed, you will need to complete a 4 step process and pick from the two intership credit codes:

  • ITX8510 offers 6 ECTS for Internships & Practical trainings. (4 weeks of full time work)
  • ITX8511 offers 12 ECTS for Internships & Practical trainings. (8 weeks of full time work)

If you are looking for a new internship place, please first check out UT practical training offers: [7] and also the following TUT faculty wide page: [8].

If you have found the company or government agency where you want to carry out your internship and have an idea about the duration of the internship, then you should contact the representative at the company and sign the follwing internship form:

1) Practical training plan2016.docx

If you have already work experience, the requirements to get this recognised are as follows:

The work that you have done must be in an IT-related field. For every 6 ECTS you must have worked at least 4 weeks full-time, or 8 weeks part-time (at 50%). You will still be asked to complete the practical training plan to be sure that the internship / practical training gets accepted.

Sign the form, have it signed by the supervisor at the company and then enrol yourself to the IVSM internships and practical training course and upload it to the appropriate assignment.

NB! No forms should be forwarded by e-mails!

2) Your supervisor at the legal entity where you carry out your internship will have to sign a form and evaluate your work progress. Internship regulations and supervisor form can be found on the Internship regulation and forms page (http://www.ttu.ee/public/i/infotehnoloogia-teaduskond/Praktikatoend2014_ENG.doc). This signed supervisor form needs to be scanned and uploaded to the appropriate assignment in [9].

You can give the paper copy to the member of staff during your practical training seminar.

3) You will need to write a report about your internship. The guidelines of what the report should contain is given in the following document: Internship report guidelines.pdf. That needs to be submitted together with the supervisor form mentioned in the previous point.

4) You will have to give a presentation about what you have done during your work/internship. This presentation should not only give an overview of what the company is/was doing, but also present some particular projects and problems that you have been working on. If you have worked in a team, also explain how this went and what your contribution was. The presentation should be 8-10 min, and you should expect questions at any time.

The slots are listed in the course [10] under an appropriate wiki. Please write your name (by not exceeding the maximum student count) under the appropriate date. Please note that there are meetings in Tartu and Tallinn listed.

Before the seminar, you should file the application to register practical training under the appropriate course code (ITX8510 and/or ITX8511) in TUT ÕIS. NB! Please press the "submit" button as well!



Note that If you presentation contains some confidential material, then we will arrange a private presentation for your presentation.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact: Juhan Ernits. The technical questions about how and where to upload to reports should go to Siiri Taveter (siiri.taveter (a) ttu.ee).
