Master Degree Programme in Structural Engineering (Wooden Constructions), application open 8-22.1.2025

This programme in Structural Engineering equips you with insights and tools needed to take a central role in creating sustainable and climate-smart buildings.

It is based on requirements for the scope of studies in building technology and structural design of wooden structures for exceptionally demanding structures, as well as study requirements in building mechanics and building physics, in order to have sufficient competence for exceptionally demanding wooden structures.

The education meets the requirements of the Finnish Ministry of the Environment guidelines on the qualification of building designers YM2 / 601/2015 and FISE’s requirements and criteria for wooden structures and load-bearing structures in wood, as well as building physics.

Additionally, this programme deals with fire dimensioning, stiffening, and sound technology in wooden structures, as well as the climate footprint and life cycle calculations of wooden buildings. An important goal in this education is that it prepares you to take a central role in creating sustainable and climate-smart buildings.

These studies are optimized for flexible learning and studying, parallel with fulltime employment preferably at an Engineering Company. A major part of the studies is conducted online, in combination with independent studies and teamwork.

The studies are part-time. The courses are carried out primarily as online studies i.e., lectures are tied to time but not to place.

Students are expected to participate in all the online lectures to be able to pass the courses. To be able to study in the degree programme, students need a computer with dual screens, good internet connection, a web cam, and a headset.

Lectures are primarily one weekday afternoon a week (usually Wednesdays at 15:00-18:00). During each semester, possibly 1-2 days will be arranged as lectures at Campus or site visits, with students participating on site.

The application period end on Jan 22nd at 15.00. Application is submitted in opintopolku:
