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.
• Contact teaching, 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 including introductory course as well as courses in mathematics, physics, engineering design, mechanics, control systems, programming and electricity.
• language and communication studies of Chinese, Finnish and English.
• intermediate specialisation studies of electrical engineering including 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.

• minor min. of 20 ECTS in Energy Economics; Sustainability Science; Practical Engineering, Innovation and Entrepreneurship; Chinese Business, Culture and Technology; Study Finnish - Live and Work in Finland.

• elective studies.

This is a double degree programme, and the graduates will receive a degree certificate from two universities, Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and Hebei University of Technology (HEBUT), after they have fulfilled the degree requirements of both universities. There are Chinese language requirements for non-native speakers of Chinese for graduation from HEBUT.
