Sustainable Urban Design
Engineer the cities we live in.
Imagine a city with smart planning, smooth transport systems, and clean and low-carbon infrastructure. Now imagine you can create it. That can become a reality in our Degree Programme in Sustainable Urban Design (B.Eng.), where you learn to shape mobility services, plan resource-wise infrastructure, and use data and technology to plan sustainable cities.
Your studies centre around urban environments and how these can be used to promote peoples’ and the planet´s wellbeing. You will learn to engineer cities that are equitable, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable. Within the programme, you will learn about creating safe and resilient cities by focusing on infrastructure, mobility, and the use of data in urban design.
During your studies, you will combine creativity with cutting-edge technology. You will learn to apply artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), data analysis, data modelling and visualisation as well as service design in urban systems.
Specialization options
You can deepen your knowledge by choosing to specialize in one of the three fields:
- Developing sustainable mobility service
- Innovating sustainable urban infrastructure
- Applying data technologies in urban planning, management, and maintenance.
Your studies at HAMK will include work placement and a thesis. In your thesis, you research a subject that interests you.
Students are selected using two selection methods:
- Admission on the basis of SAT-test results
- Admission on the basis of the points awarded for the entrance examination
Applicants can choose whether they take the SAT test or participate in the entrance examination.
- SAT test (only for IB not required) is the alternative for taking the entrance examination. Reading, writing and speaking + mathematics: https://www.studinfo.lt/egzaminai/sat (400 in reading and writing and 400 in math). Only SAT (not STA subject) is accepted. SAT scores must be sent directly to HAMK from test centre: school code 6894. Results must be submitted untill May 31
- Online entrance examination and interviews (5 times during the application). Applicants are invited to entrance examination after they submitted an kastu online application form. Applicants who passed written part of entrance exam are invited to the interview. After the interview applicants get their offer. First entrance examination is organized at the start of November and later on almost every month until May.
You become an engineer who can design sustainable cities with a specialisation in mobility, infrastructure or data management. You will work with professionals from different fields and act as a specialist in sustainable design in international companies in Finland or abroad.
