insinööritutkinto

Insinööritutkinto, often translated as Bachelor of Engineering or simply engineering degree, is an academic qualification awarded upon completion of an undergraduate engineering program in Finland. This degree is typically awarded by universities of applied sciences (ammattikorkeakoulu, or AMK) and is a recognized professional qualification.

The curriculum for an insinööritutkinto is generally more applied and practice-oriented compared to the Master of Science degrees offered by traditional universities. Programs usually last 3.5 to 4 years and include a significant amount of practical training and often a thesis project that addresses real-world engineering challenges. Graduates are prepared for a wide range of roles in industry, such as design, development, production, and project management.

The insinööritutkinto provides a solid foundation in engineering principles and technologies specific to a chosen field, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, or information technology. It equips graduates with the skills necessary to solve technical problems and contribute to technological innovation. Holders of an insinööritutkinto are eligible for various engineering positions and can pursue further education, including master's degrees.
