The Bachelor's Programme in Electrical Engineering leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Technology, B.Sc. (Tech.), which is 180 ECTS credits. 

What will you learn?

left

In this bachelor's programme, you will learn to apply your skills to advance the electrification of society. Through modern technology, solar energy can be used to produce fuel, and various electronic applications can be used to improve overall quality of life. In addition, digitalisation and the Energy Internet create new opportunities for utilising the electricity grid. The programme’s focus areas align with the skills required in the working world.
Your studies will emphasise energy efficiency and the production and use of clean energy. You will gain a deep understanding of emerging technologies, such as smart grids, wind and solar energy, electrical machinery, and automation and power electronics. You will develop an excellent understanding of the phenomena related to electricity and the operating principles of electrical engineering and electronics.

By the end of the programme, you will be able to solve problems by applying core skills and methods in mathematics and science. You will be aware of the essential laws of physics and be able to apply them to various physical processes, understand physical phenomena and be able to solve problems related to them, describe simple dynamics systems using continuous time differential equations and simulate them, and use digital environments in the practical application of the methods.

What can you do with your degree?

left

Emerging energy systems, energy-efficient technology, smart grids, electric transportation, and evolving electricity markets create a continuing need for skilled electrical engineering graduates. 

New experts are needed for product development, project engineering, sales and marketing, and management positions. Your job responsibilities may include the design, product development, technical sales, or production management of electrotechnical equipment. 

There is also a growing need for electrical trading engineers and electrical work managers. As private solar and wind power plants become more common, power plants are also undergoing changes. Consequently, electrical engineering graduates will find diverse work opportunities in both private industry and the public sector.
