Mechanical Engineering

During this two-year programme (120 credits), students will receive technological education of the highest international standard and earn a M.Sc. degree. Close contact with leading Finnish companies will ensure that students also get a chance to put their expertise and knowledge to use and solve real-life industrial cases.

Students can select from a wide array of courses and study modules employing a variety of teaching methods. In addition to lectures, teaching takes the form of  seminars, practical exercises and projects done individually and in groups. Assessment methods include examinations, exercises and project reports.

Students choose three out of five 20-credit modules to form the basis of their studies:

Product Development: Students will learn about product development processes and project working practices in order to apply the expertise acquired on more technically oriented courses; emphasis is put on team work and integrated, interdisciplinary product development.

Mechanics of Materials: This module aims to teach and apply methods for advanced component and structure dimensioning, analysis and testing. It includes courses on the finite element method, fatigue and fracture assessment and material modelling.

Digital Design and Manufacturing: This module focuses on computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE) and digital manufacturing, including welding and casting. The aim is to learn to apply digital design methods and tools to integrated design-manufacturing and the product life management (PLM) process .

Mechatronics: In this module, students learn the working principles of mechatronics components and systems. Project and team work approaches are used to help students learn and apply the principles of a machine design process in the design of mechatronic systems.

Innovative Structural Design: This module includes courses on the design and assessment of composite, lightweight and large complex structures. Emphasis is put on structural reliability and optimisation, particularly in ship structures and aircraft engineering.
