Vaativien puurakenteiden maisteriohjelma, haku 7.-21.1.2026

The Masters degree 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.

These studies are optimized for flexible learning and studying, parallel with fulltime employment preferably at an Engineering Company. The studies are conducted online, one afternoon (usually Wednesdays at 15-18) each week from September to May, in combination with furthermore weekly self-studies and teamwork.

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.
