Special Admission Requirements
General admission criteria, see TAMK’s websites.
Recognition of Prior Learning
It is possible for students to have their prior competence recognised.
Qualification Requirements and Regulations
Completion of curriculum studies and achievement of related competence objectives.
Profile of the Programme
The degree is a bachelor-level professional higher education degree.
The degree complies with the criteria set by the Finnish national degree system as well as with the European framework for degrees and other competence.
Key Learning Outcomes
In the education of Electrical Building Services Engineering, students learn to comprehensively manage the electrical systems of buildings. This includes, in addition to the electrical energy system, lighting, and building information systems, including building automation.
The total scope of studies is 240 credits, evenly distributed over four academic years. The studies fulfill the educational requirements set for all electrical qualifications.
In the common studies with HVAC engineering education, students learn to create building technology solutions that are energy-efficient, safe, healthy, and functional. Throughout all study years, HVAC engineering and Electrical Building Services Engineering studies are closely interconnected, supporting cooperation and holistic solutions. In project studies aimed at developing readiness for working life, collaboration is carried out with students from other programs, such as building architecture and construction engineering.
The degree includes 15 credits of elective professional studies, where students can supplement their expertise by completing professional studies from other degrees. Additionally, the degree includes 15 credits of freely selectable study modules, where students can freely choose high-level study modules based on their own interests and skill needs. These elective and freely selectable study modules can be completed at any stage of the studies.
The curriculum's study modules are scheduled so that, except for the thesis work, all Electrical Building Services Engineering core studies are completed after 3.5 years. This allows students who progress more quickly to graduate early and offers flexibility in the final spring to choose elective and freely selectable study modules that best complement their own study path.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
Expertise in building services engineering is needed in both new construction and renovation projects. An increasingly significant area of work is property management and maintenance tasks. Graduates from the education program work as building technology designers, in supervisory or expert roles in construction contracting, equipment manufacturing and sales, monitoring and regulatory roles, as well as in property maintenance tasks. In the field, one can either specialize in a particular area or develop into a broad-ranging expert. A building technology expert can find employment either in a small or large company or become an entrepreneur.
Access to Further Studies
The degree gives eligibility for master’s degrees
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
The assessment criteria for study modules are described in the curriculum of the degree program.
Detailed criteria, assessment methods, and completion modes are outlined in the implementation plan of the study module.
Graduation Requirements
Completing the studies and achieving the learning outcomes within the scope defined by the curriculum. To graduate, students must apply for a degree certificate once the required number of credits for graduation has been completed.
Mode of Study
The degree program leading to a qualification (240 ECTS) is implemented as full-time day studies.
Development of the Programme
The Electrical Building Services Engineering degree program is a part of the responsibility for electrical and automation engineering education. The curriculum is based on long-term development work in the field of education, in collaboration with industry stakeholders. The content and structure of the studies are updated annually in accordance with the changing regulations and requirements of the field. The education program takes into account the guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Culture as well as the strategy of TAMK (Tampere University of Applied Sciences).
