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 in this field. This programme is the first international master’s degree programme in this field organized by three Fenno-Scandinavian universities (Häme University of Applied Sciences, University of Borås and University of Southern Denmark).

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 master’s thesis (30 credits).

Implementation of the 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 second fall (approx. 2 months). 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 autumn at Hämeenlinna University Centre.

Wearable Intelligence -tutkinnossa perehdyt puettavan älykkyyden, kuten älytekstiilien ja eksoskeletonien 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).

Koulutuksen toteutamme monimuoto-opintoina, joissa yhdistyvät opiskelu Hämeenlinnan kampuksella ja verkossa. Opintojen aikana pääset opiskelijavaihtoon Ruotsiin noin kahdeksi kuukaudeksi. Opintosi alkavat elokuussa. Koulutus on englanninkielinen.
