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.

Intended learning outcomes and programme content in the current curriculum

Double degree

left

This is a double degree programme developed in cooperation with Hebei University of Technology (HEBUT) in China.

Students admitted to this bachelor's programme will receive a degree certificate from two universities after they have fulfilled the degree requirements of both universities. You will complete the entire degree in Lappeenranta, Finland.

What will you learn in the programme?

left

You will learn to understand how electrical energy is generated, transmitted and used, how electrical systems are controlled, and how the electricity market works. You will also learn to develop new electrotechnical equipment and systems.

Your studies will emphasise energy efficiency and the production and use of clean energy. This involves 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.

At the end of the programme, you will be able to use basic skills in mathematics and science and solve problems by applying suitable mathematical methods. 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 solving environments in the practical applications of the methods.

You will understand the principle of feedback control and be able to apply the basic methods of control engineering in devices and machines.

Guidelines on electrical safety will become familiar to you: you will learn about electrical installations and what to do if electrical accidents occur. You will also learn about electromagnetic compatibility.

What can you do with your degree?

left

Emerging energy systems, energy-efficient technology, smart grids, electrifying transport and the electricity market guarantee graduates of electrical engineering work now and in the future.

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

There is also a growing need in the market for electrical trading engineers and electrical work managers. As private solar and wind power plants become more common, power plants are also experiencing a time of change. Thus, graduates of electrical engineering will have enough work in both industry and municipal positions.

Job options for graduates

  • Project engineer
  • Testing and automation engineer
  • Design engineer
  • Technical sales engineer
  • Electricity company engineer

Continue your studies in a master's programme

After completing a bachelor's degree, you can continue your studies in one of LUT’s master's programmes in electrical engineering. Each programme is 120 ECTS credits, and you will graduate within two academic years.

Four programmes are offered in English:

You can also apply separately to the Finnish-language master's programme Sähkötekniikan DIODI.
