The thesis was commissioned by mFabrik Production Oy which is specialized in mobile solutions. With the growth of smartphone and smart mobile devices users, especially among school age people, increasing number of mobile appli-cations were used by students daily, which draw potential market of mobile ap-plications for education purposes.
The aim of this study was to define the mobile application user groups of Fin-nish University of Applied Sciences and to find out their interests and general requirements towards mobile applications.
Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. Questionnaires were designed for each user group and in-depth interviews were carried among every user group.
After analyzing the research results, there were needs for mobile applications with certain features which could help users’ study and working life. The mo-bile versions of several existing systems were demanded. Meanwhile, in order to make best utilize of these mobile applications, UASs should prepare to in-crease the awareness of applications once they were put in use.
