   Abstract: This paper discusses the experience of International Master's programs at TKK from 1999 until the present day. The main activity has been on programs in the area of ICT and these programs will be in the focus of this paper as well. We discuss the development of the curriculum, give some statistics on the activity and will pay particular attention on the motivation behind the programs from their inception till the present day considering also the alignment of the programs with wider goals of the University. We consider the issue of tuition language from the points of view of both the foreign and domestic students. Finally, we will discuss wider societal and job market aspects of the programs and try to formulate conditions under which the programs can be further developed and broadened to the extent that we could claim to be a truly international University.
