Studies of the first year and half of the second study year of Smart Automation curriculum are organized in co-operation with Degree programme in Electronics. First year's fundamental studies aim to build a strong technical and theoretical base for professional studies. During first and second year students will study professional studies, mathematics, physics, English and other fundamental engineering studies. International students will start studying Finnish language in the beginning of their studies and will study altogether 20 ECTS of Finnish during the two first study years.

During third and fourth study year student will deepen their skills and knowledge of topics of Smart Automation with advanced special studies in Smart Factories and Cloud Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and Robotics. Students have a possibility to expand their professional skills with elective project or entrepreneurship studies. Students will complete innovation project during the third or fourth year. Finnish students will complete also the second national language course. The internship periods may be carried out during the study periods of the fourth year or alternatively during the summer periods between the semesters. During the final study year students will carry out a bachelor thesis on a topic related to electronics.
