Oulu Polytechnic

What you'll study

Initial courses introduce fundamentals in engineering and natural sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) together with language and communication studies. Professional studies emphasise transport phenomena, energy engineering processes, renewable energy, environmental engineering processes and principles of sustainable production and consumption. Business studies bring economic context to technical decision‑making, and students learn to use design software and to consider how regulation and policy shape energy technology development. Teaching methods include on‑campus lectures, online study, workshops, project work, assignments, written reports and presentations, and the curriculum can be personalised to develop chosen specialisms.
