Wearable Intelligence | Master of Engineering | multiform studies

Are you interested in studying in a one-of-a-kind programme with cutting-edge technology? In our Wearable Intelligence Programme, you gain insight into wearable technology such as smart textiles and exoskeleton robotics and learn to design and innovate intelligent products. The market for wearable technology has evolved significantly over the years and you have an opportunity to become an expert on this field. This programme is the first international master’s degree programme on this field organized by three Fenno-Scandinavian universities.  

Content of the studies

This programme provides you up-to-date knowledge on smart textile design and fabrication, embedded textile electronics, biosensors, AI-based software control and much more. During your studies, you engage in hands-on projects to develop your own wearable innovations, supported by academia, business, and industry partners. Throughout your studies, you will advance your expertise and build connections with potential employers in Scandinavia and Europe. Your degree consists of 90 credits and includes two core elements, profiling studies (60 credits) and thesis (30 credits).  

Implementation of the Degree Programme

Studies are implemented as multiform concept where you will study weekly onsite at HAMK University in Hämeenlinna (Finland) and have an exchange study period in Borås (Sweden) during the fall 2026 (approx. 2 months). There is also an opportunity to organize a study visit to University SDU (Denmark) during your studies. You will also engage in online learning independently and collaborate with a small research group as part of the education program. 

Your studies will start in August 2025 in Hämeenlinna University Centre. The first intensive week (3 days) will take place in Hämeenlinna University Centre in September 2025. 

Tiivistelmä

Wearable Intelligence -tutkinnossa perehdyt puettavan älykkyyden, kuten älytekstiilien ja eksoskeletoneiden suunnitteluun ja toimintaan. Koulutus on ensimmäinen kansainvälinen YAMK-tasoinen tutkinto puettavan älykkyyden alalla, mikä järjestetään yhteistyössä kolmen pohjoiseurooppalaisen korkeakoulun kesken. Opinnot koostuvat profiloivista opinnoista (60 op) ja opinnäytetyöstä (30 op).  

Koulutuksessa opiskelet monimuoto-opintoina HAMKin Hämeenlinnan kampuksella ja pääset osallistumaan noin kahden kuukauden opintojaksolle Ruotsiin. Opintosi alkavat elokuussa 2025. Koulutus on englanninkielinen.
