Programme

Are you curious about sustainable product development? Would you like to learn how to design, develop and analyse smart and sustainable products by selecting the right engineering materials? A degree from the programme Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering qualifies you to work as a modern-day engineer, who focuses on sustainable and digital solutions for a carbon neutral tomorrow. Studies take 4 years and comprise 240 ECTS.

Our degree programme opens doors to a booming field where engineers are in constant demand. Material and design engineers are needed in every business field, from the manufacturing industry to their supply chains, as well as in the public sector. If you are curious, innovative and eager to develop new approaches in engineering that can change the world for the better, then do not hesitate to apply to this programme!

Preparing for your future – an international focus, social skills and strong ties to working-life

The increasingly international focus of today's labour market is clearly reflected in the degree programmes Arcada offers, with Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering being no exception. As the programme is closely tied to its parallel programme in Swedish, students from both programmes can network and share learning experiences from day one. The idea is also to familiarise international students with the Finnish labour market in a genuinely multicultural and multidisciplinary environment.

Our programme is also connected to departmental projects, including both in-house and external partners, which actively involve students. Our ties to the industry are continuing to grow. As a result, during your studies at Arcada you will benefit tremendously through hands-on research, company excursions, internship possibilities and company thesis projects.

A modern and safe study environment

Arcada’s engineers put their skills to work in the production laboratory, a hub for design and development where students can fully utilize our equipment for innovations. You will develop competencies on the overall processes, starting from characterizing the material properties to developing products using both conventional and state-of-of the art manufacturing technologies, with the ethics of safety as a cornerstone of your studies.

At Arcada we also take pride in our teaching culture – the contact between teachers and students is very informal. Here you will get personal guidance from your teachers, which is something our students and alumni keep highlighting as one of the top advantages of studying at Arcada.
