Information Systems Science

Information Systems Science, often called Information Systems (IS), focuses on designing, implementing, and managing technology-driven solutions to meet the needs of businesses, organizations, and society. At its core, IS bridges the gap between technology and the goals of an organization, leveraging data and digital technologies to improve decision-making, innovation, and sustainability.

As an academic discipline, Information Systems explores the design, management, use, and utilization of information technology (IT) and its implications and impacts. Information Systems research and practice look at IT from a socio-technical perspective to understand the interplay between people and technology.

The University of Turku has educated IS professionals since the 1980s. The job market for IS graduates and alumni has traditionally been very strong, as the salary levels in the IS Job Index show. In Finland, IS consistently ranks among the best-paying majors in Finland according to the salary survey conducted by the Association of Finnish Business School Graduates (ekonomit.fi).
