Abstract : When Helsinki University of Technology (HUT), after a period of basic programming courses, set out to offer their students a full curriculum of computer science courses, they did it in their own way. Instead of the usual mathematically oriented university curriculum, most of the courses were slanted towards the practical needs of the surrounding industry. In addition to this, they kept an eye on what was new and coming throughout the world in the field of computer science. The paper focuses on the development during the first ten years, 1968–1978. Course headings and people involved in teaching are mentioned. The research activity is described briefly.
