Degree Programme in Civil Engineering
Level of qualification
Bachelor of Engineering
Qualification awarded
Bachelor of Engineering
Specific admission requirements
Application to Bachelor's degrees conducted as daytime studies takes place online through the joint application system. The general admissions criteria of Metropolia are applied.
Specific arrangements for recognition of prior learning
According to Metropolia's common rules and instructions >>
Qualification requirements and regulations
The awarding of Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) diploma requires the acquisition of no less than 240 ECTS points during 8 semesters. An academic year of daytime studies is equivalent to 60 ECTS points.
See the Degree Regulations of Helsinki Metropolia UAS: >>
Profile of the programme
This new engineering degree will offer both general building engineering skills and the understanding of the principles of life cycle engineering in buildings. The student will learn the basics of civil engineering, indoor environment energy and skills in facility management.
Key learning outcomes
The study programme contains a total of 240 ECTS credits including the subjects mentioned above, elective studies, projects, work placement and a Bachelor's Thesis, usually commissioned by our partners in industry. A significant part (over 60 ECTS) of the studies will be carried out in real working life projects, starting from the first study year. An international exchange period can be included in the third year curriculum.
Occupational profiles of graduates
At the building site a sustainable building engineer is able to use recycled materials, minimize the waste flows and avoid damages to the surrounding nature. As a facility manager, he/she knows how to reduce the use of energy and other resources, and where to locate new activities in a sustainable manner.
Access to further studies
Opportunities for further study are a Master's degree as well as a Master of Science degree, which give validity to more complex construction specialist positions.

Examination regulations, assessment and grading
Course assessment criteria are specified in the course implementation plan. The teacher in charge of the course will be responsible for the assessment. At the beginning of the course, students will be informed on the assessment principles which must be based on the course objectives.
Assessment applies to the students who have registered and been accepted on the course. If the course consists of several components, the teacher may point this out in the assessment principles contained in the implementation plan.
Different components of a course may be assessed individually.
The assessment scale is as follows: 5 excellent 4 very good 3 good 2 very satisfactory 1 satisfactory 0 fail H pass
The grade of an approved course cannot be upgraded in a re-sit. Students that fail a course may re-sit the exam twice on specified dates.
Students will be provided with feedback and assessment within four weeks of their course performance and in any case well before the next possible retake. The teacher in charge of the course will ensure that the course grades are entered in the study credit register after the assessments have been made public. Grades for successfully completed courses that have been entered in the study credit register cannot be erased. The course coordinator or teacher files the documents used as the basis for student assessment for six months, counting from the publication of the assessment.
Graduation requirements
A student is required to successfully complete the designated program of courses to meet a minimum of 240 ECTS credit requirement
Mode of study
Full-time, daytime studies

Development
Rakennus- ja kiinteistöalan asiantuntijat esittivät englanninkielisen koulutusohjelman tarpeen jo Metropolia AMK:n valmisteluvaiheessa. Rakennus- ja kiinteistöalalle asetetut globaalit energiatehokkuuden haasteet ja kestävän kehityksen tavoitteet ovat johtaneet ohjelma suuntaamiseen rakennusalan kestävään kehitykseen. Esimerkiksi Valtioneuvoston tulevaisuusselonteossa on asetettu tavoitteeksi vähentää rakennuskannan energiankulutusta 60 prosentilla vuoteen 2050 mennessä. Tämän tavoitteen saavuttaminen edellyttää alan parhaan kansainvälisen osaamisen viemistä insinöörikoulutukseen.
Koulutusohjelman suunnittelu on toteutettu yhteistyössä rakennustekniikan ja talotekniikan koulutusohjelmien neuvottelukuntien kanssa. Opetussuunnitelman sisältöä on muokattu neuvottelukuntien ja rakennusalan kestävän kehityksen asiantuntijoiden lausuntojen perusteella. Lisäksi suunnittelua on tehty yhteistyössä ulkomaisten yhteistyökorkeakoulujen kanssa (mm. HTW Berlin). Koulutus mahdollistaa vaihto-opiskelijoiden vastaanottamisen sekä kotimaisten opiskelijoiden kansainvälistymisen kotimaassa.
Työllistymisnäkymät koulutusohjelman tarjoaman osaamisen alueella ovat lähivuosina erinomaiset. Kansainvälisesti kestävän kehityksen haasteet ovat sekä virallisesti että sosiaalisesti perusteltuja. Ohjelmasta valmistuneet voivat sijoittua esim. vientiprojektejeihin ja kv-yrityksiin, suunnitelun, tuotannon ja ylläpidon sektoreilla. He tuovat Suomessa toimiville julkisen ja yksityisen sektorin toimijoille uusinta kv-tietotaitoa ja kontakteja.
