Software Product Management and Business, Master's programme (2 years), Lahti

The programme focuses on the design, implementation and maintenance of software and digital services in their business context. It combines business with software engineering in modern software platforms and ecosystems. Software product management is presented as part of software development, with attention to the life cycle of a digital product and to the management, planning and governance of that life cycle.

The programme lasts 2 years and uses blended teaching. Students study through online courses and contact teaching. Contact teaching is arranged on the Lahti campus on average once a month on Fridays from 9.00 to 17.00, and all other teaching takes place as online lectures, recordings and similar formats. Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT says the blended mode is not a problem for obtaining a residence permit for studies.

Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT says graduates gain skills in analysing, developing and managing software-based digital products, understanding enterprise-level systems and their links to external platforms and ecosystems, and working in multicultural teams.
