Observations and suggestions

Observe that the first semester is relatively easy. It makes a lot of sense to take additional elective courses at the first semester. See the ideas below and scan the OIS study portal for available courses this fall (takes effort, but it is useful to learn to find your way in OIS),

In particular, cybersec elective courses of cryptology at Tartu are a good choice for people interested in tech and math!

You are supposed to declare your courses for the first semester during the first half of september, using the OIS study portal. Contact the study administration people at IT-235 Raja 15, 12618 Tallinn, phone 6203528, email i@ttu.ee for necessary passwords and for any other kinds of technical administrative help!

If for some reason you cannot declare a course in time, do not despair: it is ok to start the study without declaring all courses immediately.

Ideas for additional courses during fall 2010

Initial suggestions for courses in addition to the main course schedule:

• Possible replacements for Talling spring business administration courses already this fall:
  • The course TIX8280 International Business (4.0 ECT) is taught in spring. However, you can replace it with the course TIX2730 - Management, taught this fall on Mondays weeks 1-8: 17:45-21:00 lecture+exercise , docent Stein Skjorshammer, room X-222.
  • The course TIX8300 Business Ethics (3.0 ECT) is taught in spring. However, you can replace it with the course TIX2720 - Intercultural Communication, taught this fall on Tuesdays even weeks 10-17: 17:45-21:00, lecturer Leon Miller, room X-221.
  • See the TVTM11 schedule link under the "T-School of Economics and Business Administration of TUT" block in the timetable in OIS.
  • You may contact the Economics and Business Administration international studies counselor Siyi Ma (phone 620 3940, room X-247) for additional details about the courses

• Tartu: Cryptology I. Requires good math background. See course page and contact Peeter Laud (peeter_l@ut.ee) for questions about possible distance learning, replacing lab time on Thursdays etc.

• If you have too little background in IT (general issues, networking, programming) then discuss with Tanel Tammet about suitable warmup courses for the fall 2010: email your background and come to room IT-223 on Wednesdays between 10-11.
  • People without IT background are suggested to additionally take the course ITX0025 - Introduction to Information Technology (Endre Domiczi), lectures odd weeks Friday 08:00-09:30 room V-301, labs even weeks Friday 08:00-09:30 room IT-213D .

• See the IVSM schedule link under the "I-Faculty of Information Technology" block in the timetable in OIS: these are courses for the first-year international master studies in software engineering and could be an interesting option. The software engineering program coordinator is Jüri Vain (vain@ioc.ee, phone 620 4190): you may want to check with him for the available/suitable courses in that program.

• The IT College (building located close to the IT dept building) offers very good CISCO academy network administration courses. Contact the IT College for the exact schedule and availability. Some of these courses are a suitable replacement for networking/administration courses at the second semester in Tartu. However, the IT College/CISCO courses are not part of the Uni of Tech curriculum, hence you would have to pay for these courses yourself.
