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.
In this programme, you will learn how electricity is generated, transmitted, and used in modern society. You will gain a solid understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and the technologies that support the transition towards clean energy and an increasingly electrified world.
You will learn to analyse electrical circuits and electronic systems, apply mathematics and science to engineering problems, and understand how modern electrical technologies work. You will also gain experience in programming, measurement, and engineering design and develop the skills needed to create and improve technical solutions.
The programme provides a strong foundation for progressing to master's studies and developing specialised expertise in different fields of electrical engineering.
Programme contents
- Electrical energy systems
- Electrical machines
- Electronics
- Embedded systems
- Mechatronics
Most of your studies take place on campus during weekdays. Occasional online courses, as well as courses combining online and on-campus teaching, provide variety and flexibility to your study methods and schedule.
Your studies include
- theoretical lectures
- exercise sessions
- company visits
- projects
- individual and group assignments
- extensive laboratory work
Electrical engineering expertise is needed in a wide range of industries, including energy, manufacturing, technology, transportation, and infrastructure.
With the knowledge and skills gained in the programme, graduates can contribute to the design, testing, operation, and development of electrical systems, embedded technologies, and engineering solutions. Depending on the country and employer, bachelor's graduates may start their careers in engineering, technical specialist, testing, or project roles.
The degree also provides an excellent foundation for progressing to master's studies and developing more specialised expertise in electrical engineering.
Job options for graduates
- Electrical engineer
- Test engineer
- Technical specialist
- Embedded systems engineer
- Project engineer
”Besides excellent courses, we also have the opportunity for a full-year laboratory course alongside our studies as a complement.
Those labs help me gain in-depth understanding in how systems work in real engineering scenarios.”

LUT student
After completing a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, you can continue your studies in one of the following electrical engineering master's programmes at LUT. Each programme is 120 ECTS credits and takes two academic years to complete.
Three programmes are offered in English:
You can also apply to an international double degree master’s programme organised in cooperation with a partner university. The programme lasts two years, and you will receive a degree certificate from both universities. In both programmes, the first academic year is completed at LUT's Lappeenranta campus. For the second academic year, you will move to the partner university, where you will also complete your master's thesis.
In addition, you can apply separately to the Sähkötekniikan DIODI (in Finnish) master's programme.
We are committed to providing high-quality education. International programme accreditations ensure the continuous development of our education and the international recognition of our graduates’ degrees. LUT University is one of the world’s top 350 universities in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, which is one of the most highly regarded university ranking systems.
The integration of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, energy technology, environmental technology, and IoT skills provides you an excellent foundation to compete for the most sought-after jobs in industries related to modern sustainable hybrid technology solutions. You will be working for a better future with the best companies.
Our university campuses are located in Lappeenranta and Lahti. In both cities, the staff, partners in cooperation, student associations, campus clubs, student union and individual students work together to make students feel at home on campus and to make the world a better place.
