Häme University of Applied Sciences describes this Bachelor of Engineering in Construction Engineering as a degree in which students study mathematical and natural sciences, construction, structural engineering, project management and financial thinking. The main focus is construction engineering and structural design. The programme also covers energy efficiency, building information modelling (BIM) and sustainable development in construction.
The studies are practical-oriented. Students learn through laboratory exercises, authentic construction sites, class-based learning, team work, project work and online learning. The degree includes elective study modules, work placement and a final thesis. Students can also take part in student exchange as part of the degree.
