Descriptions

During the first year of Electrical and Automation Engineering studies, a theoretical and technical foundation is laid for future professional studies. The first year of studies is common for all multiform learning students. In the multiform learning program of Electrical and Automation Engineering, students have the opportunity to specialize in two different majors: Automation Engineering or Electrical Engineering. The major selection is made in the spring of the first year, and major-specific studies commence in the second year.

The structure of the studies is as follows:
• Common studies 60 ECTS
• Second-year main subject-specific professional studies 60 ECTS
• Main subject-specific advanced studies 30-55 ECTS
• Optional study module and freely chosen studies totaling 0-25 ECTS
• Professional English 5 ECTS
• Second national language 5 ECTS
• Innovation project 10 ECTS
• Two internship periods 30 ECTS
• Thesis 15 ECTS
TOTAL 240 ECTS

The second-year professional studies are mandatory and uniform for all students who have chosen the main subject. The Professional English course is recommended to be completed during the second year.

In the third and fourth years of Electrical Engineering and Automation Engineering studies, students deepen their expertise in their chosen major with advanced studies, of which students must choose at least 30 ECTS. In the Automation Engineering major, students can specialize in robotics, information technology in automation and building automation. In the Electrical Engineering major, advanced studies allow specialization in Building Electrical Engineering or Electrical Power Engineering. Students can broaden their expertise with an elective study module or elective studies. During the third and fourth years, students also complete a multidisciplinary innovation project and a second national language course according to their language of school education.

In addition to these studies, students must complete two mandatory 10-week internships in the field and, finally, carry out a thesis on a topic related to their degree program.
