Introduction
Become an innovative international expert in science and technology
Would you like to study natural sciences and engineering in English? Are you inspired by multicultural study groups and opportunities for research internships?
The Bachelor’s program in Science and Engineering offers all this! It is a cross-disciplinary degree program that provides you with a solid grounding in several core fields of engineering and the ability to follow rapid technological developments and apply scientific methods.
The Science and Engineering program has two tracks: Natural Sciences and Mathematics and Computing and Electrical Engineering.
The major subjects available in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics track are
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biomedical Engineering
- Material Science
We offer our students high-quality teaching in relatively small, multicultural study groups where teamwork is strongly supported. In addition to providing a sound theoretical basis for further studies in the field of technology, the program places special emphasis on internationality, employability, and connections to industry. With this unique combination, our students are well-prepared for the international world of research and industry.
Graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Technology degree are eligible to continue their studies directly towards a master's degree at Tampere University without having to re-apply.
