Compulsory courses
Pervasive Computing and Communications for Sustainable Development

In order to be eligible for the diploma in Computer Science with specialisation in Pervasive Computing Systems and Communication Architectures for Sustainable Computing the student has to obtain 120 ECTS, of which at least  90 ECTS must be courses at the advanced level including a Master thesis of 30 ECTS. The program is based on a university cooperation between three universities and combines courses in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) addressing sustainable development considering both the ICT itself as well as how ICT can be used for applications and services for sustainable development. The partner universities are: • University of Lorraine, Nancy, France • Leeds Beckett University, Leeds, UK • Luleå University of Technology, Luleå, Sweden All courses in the program are compulsory. The first semester is provided at University of Lorraine and addresses Sustainable Computer Network Engineering. The second semester focuses on green IT and sustainable development and takes place at Leeds Beckett University. Luleå University of Technology provides the third semester in the subject of Resource Efficient Pervasive Computing systems and Communications. For Swedish speaking students (level equivalent to Swedish B)  the course Swedish for international students 1 (S0046P) is replaced by the course Project in Pervasive and Mobile Computing (W7001E) as a requirement for graduation.   For students enrolled prior to 2018 the constellation of partner universities is different (i.e. Lappenranta University of Technology and Saint Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, included; Leeds Beckett University, not included). Students enrolled 2017 and earlier are referred to the programme syllabus for study year 2017/18 (version 2016-0316).
