  • Professional studies 60 ECTS
  • Specialization studies (Machine Design / Aircraft Engineering) 45 ECTS
  • Project studies 10 ECTS
  • Elective studies 10 ECTS
  • Work Placement 30 ECTS
  • Thesis 15 ECTS

The students can apply for a short or long- term exchange in partner universities. The work placement period which is included in the degree can be completed in part or in total abroad.

Major options

We offer two (2) majors:

  • Machine Design
  • Aircraft Engineering

Please note

  • Students need to enroll to major option selection.
  • Major option selection will be held once a year, in spring term.
  • Major studies start once a year, in August.
  • Starting studies in major option require that student has followed the curriculum as planned and has completed 120 credits, i.e. two years of studies.
  • Student does not automatically get a study place in his/her preference major.

Major option will give you an in-depth insight into the subject areas that are relevant and up to date in each major option. You can also extend your knowledge in any other major options by taking it as a minor option in your engineering studies. Major options and course offerings in Major Options are subject to change.

Machine design

The Machine Design option trains engineers who can take customer needs into account and design innovative, user-friendly, easy-to-manufacture and environmentally friendly products, and lead product development projects.

The studies focus on product development, materials and manufacturing engineering, engineering mechanics, computer-aided design (CAD) and simulation.

The training provides a solid foundation in various aspects of engineering business, such as design, computer-aided simulation, and sales.

Machine design engineering involves solving design problems, which requires creativity, initiative, and cooperation, as well as an in-depth knowledge of specific aspects of mechanical engineering.

Aircraft Engineering

Studies in Aircraft Engineering include: aeronautical engineering, aeromechanics, structural solutions, avionics and aircraft engines and systems and drones. Aircraft engineering is taught in cooperation with other educational organisations.
