Bachelor of Engineering | Environmental Engineering (B.ENG) | online-oriented full-time studies

Are you interested in the state of the environment, environmental safety, clean technology, environmental management and sustainable development?

Structure of studies

You can enhance your own professional orientation bypractical training (30 ECTS credits), bachelor’s thesis (15 ECTS credits), optional professional studies (30 ECTS credits) and by optional other studies (15 ECTS credits).

Optional studies includefor example courses in the following:

• forestry
• entrepreneurship studies
• other environmental engineering related studies

You can create your own personal study plan in an electronic form which serves as a planning tool for the studies. The implementation is followed-up in cooperation with a Studies Coordinator.

The degree programme language is English. Teaching, assignments, exams and the bachelor’s thesis are carried out in English.

Even though you can complete most of your studies through online studies, the second year of the studies is very practical. This means going to the field, taking samples, carrying out analyses and interpreting the results. In other words, we learn through real assignments. Our environmental laboratory is very important in that process. We can perform very sophisticated analyses and measurements with modern measuring equipment

Bachelor's thesis

Bachelor's thesis provides you with the opportunity develop and show abilities to apply research knowledge and to use suitable methods to define and solve research problems. In addition, you learn skills to work independently as a high level professional.

The thesis process covers 15 ECTS credits, and the thesis is written and presented in English. All theses base on written contracts with external organizations, and at the same time, they are projects for the development of business life.
