Mechanical Engineering
Modern wellbeing relies heavily on the use of machinery and equipment. Mechanical engineering job prospects are good in Finland, because business is good and a great number of engineers will be retiring in the next few years. Mechanical engineering is based of high technology and expertise, which means that people working in the field are able to develop themselves and work in an interesting and ever-developing environment.
The degree programme is divided into the following specialisation options: Energy and Environmental Engineering, Machine Automation, Production Engineering, and Machine Design Engineering. The tuition in this degree programme is in Finnish.

Machine Automation
Machine Automation is a quickly developing field, with new techniques and equipment solutions springing up regularly, which makes the field both interesting and challenging.
Machine automation training gives students the capacity to work in industry, designing and programming automatic operations and production systems and working with the mobile hydraulics of mobile machinery, such as cranes and forklifts. Students specialise in either machine design or control technology, with an integral part of the studies consisting of practical work in the machine department laboratory and joint projects with industry partners and practical exercises laying the foundation for future work duties.
