Why choosing Nokia?
It is simple. At Nokia, you will benefit from four decades of experience with the dual model. We have been one of the founding companies of the demanding, yet rewarding cooperative studies system born in 1972. Since then, the program has been developed further over the years. With 40 years of alumni backing up the new cooperative students, you will get valuable support to make your dual studies a success.
Courses
Technology is your passion. Maybe you have even dissembled your smartphone to see how it works and now you are eager to improve the network it used to connect to? Electrical engineers at Nokia mainly focus on developing new and improving existing setups for the equipment at the bottom layer of communication technologies. You are going to handle sensitive electronic devices, test new setups and provide valuable support to our customers.
You are ready to deal with the challenge to handle a broad range of disciplines from business administration to computer science? Then choose this course and help us to make concepts for optimized connected systems in our global environment.
You are a creative person with exceptional social skills. You are definitely interested in technology, but prefer working intensely with people rather than pondering over very tricky schematics. Then business administration is the field of study to choose.
Computers have become second nature to you? You are not afraid of working on challenging and precise problems concerning the code applied on an electronic device? At Nokia, you will be able to work on interesting software solutions for our communicational networks including programming the transition of different types of signals or the mechanisms the devices are interacting with each other.
Engineering managers are, much like business computer scientists, jacks of all trades. You are getting to learn about business management, but the main part of your studies will be about electrical engineering and engineering in general including related subjects as well as soft skills and management training. You will most likely be at the interface between customers and full-fledged engineers, knowing enough to find your way through both worlds.
