Bachelor of Engineering, Energy and Electrical Engineering

Energy is a key part of modern life. We need electricity to power homes, factories, transport, and digital systems. At the same time, the world is moving towards cleaner and smarter energy solutions. Engineers who understand how energy systems work — and how to make them more sustainable — are needed more than ever.

This programme gives you strong skills in both electrical engineering and energy technologies. You will learn how electricity is produced, used, and controlled, with a special focus on renewable energy.

Main topics include:

  • Electrical Energy Systems: How electricity is generated and delivered through power grids.
  • Renewable Energy: Solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy — how these systems work and how they are used in real life.
  • Electric Drives: How electric motors and control systems work in machines and vehicles.
  • Energy Management Systems: How to monitor and improve energy use in buildings and industry.
  • Energy Markets: How energy is traded and how energy resources can participate to system balancing via reserve markets.

You will work on practical projects, use modern lab equipment, and study real-world cases. The programme prepares you for jobs in both Finnish and international companies.
