Information and Communication Technology, Robotics
Join the robotics evolution!
In our Degree Programme in Information and Communication Technology, Robotics, you learn to use technology to improve people’s lives and advance sustainability.
You will learn how to program and integrate robotics in service, business, and industry operations to save resources, boost efficiency, and improve quality. You will understand human-robot interaction and can design collaborative robotics in different sectors from care services and food production to businesses and manufacturing. Upon graduation, you will be a professional who knows how to use ICT and robotics to build smart systems and operations that are better for the planet and the people.
Structure of studies
In this programme, you learn, for example, coding, software engineering, robotic process automation (RPA), data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI). For example we use RoboDK simulation software for simulation and offline programming of industrial robots. In addition to all the technical skills, you develop creativity, problem-solving abilities, systematic and analytical thinking, and communication skills.
During your studies, you will work on hands-on projects, commissioned by business and industry partners, as a member of diverse and international student teams. The robotics campus in the city of Riihimäki offers an ecosystem and an excellent opportunity for developing and applying robotics.
Specialization options
Your studies at HAMK will include work placement and a thesis. In your work placement, you practice your profession in a company and build connections with potential employers. 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 will become an engineer with current and employable skills in ICT and robotics. You can work for example as robotics engineer, software developer, automation specialist or AI consultant.
