Facts

• This BSc is taught in English.
• This is a Tekniikan kandidaatti (TkK), Bachelor of Science in Technology (B.Sc. Tech.) degree amounting to 180 ECTS.
• A lower university degree gives eligibility to apply for Master's studies.
• The BSc education is arranged so that full-time students can complete the degree in three academic years.

Degree Structure

The BSc in technology 180 ECTS consists of

• common obligatory general studies of 79 ECTS, include introductory course as well as courses in mathematics, physics, engineering design, mechanics, control systems, programming and electricity.
• language and communication studies of 10-19 ECTS in Chinese, Finnish and English.
• intermediate specialisation studies of 59 ECTS of electrical engineering,
  

  include courses in power systems, electrical drives, electrical circuits, digital design, digital control, IoT and electronics. The specialisation studies include a Bachelor's thesis and seminar totalling 12 ECTS.
