Key Summary
Become an innovative international expert in science and technology
Would you like to study information technology and electrical engineering in English? Are you inspired by multicultural study groups and opportunities for research internships?
The Bachelor’s program in Science and Engineering offers all this! It is a cross-disciplinary degree program that provides you with a solid grounding in several core fields of engineering and the ability to follow rapid technological developments and apply scientific methods.
The Science and Engineering program has two tracks: Computing and Electrical Engineering and Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
The major subjects available in the Computing and Electrical Engineering track are
- Signal Processing and Machine Learning
- Software Development
- Power Engineering
- Communications Engineering
- Electronics and Embedded Systems
We offer our students high-quality teaching in relatively small, multicultural study groups where teamwork is strongly supported. In addition to providing a sound theoretical basis for further studies in the field of technology, the program places special emphasis on internationality, employability, and connections to industry. With this unique combination, our students are well-prepared for the international world of research and industry.
Graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Technology degree are eligible to continue their studies directly towards a master's degree at Tampere University without having to re-apply. There are multiple options to choose from among the English-taught Masters of Science (Tech) programs offered by Tampere University.
Study contents
During the first year of your Bachelor’s studies, you will attend introductory courses and basic courses in key subjects that are important to all engineering students regardless of their major. These include mathematics, physics, programming and languages.
You will progress onto major and minor studies in your second and third years. You will choose one major from five possibilities: Signal Processing and Machine Learning, Software Development, Power Engineering, Communications Engineering, and Electronics and Embedded Systems. Your major will include the Bachelor’s thesis. In addition to your major, you will complete a minor subject module of your choice.
Your eligibility to apply for admission to the different Master's programmes offered by Tampere University is determined based on the major and minor subjects included in your Bachelor’s degree.
