Electrify the future with smart and sustainable automation!
Learn to create an energy efficient future with renewable energy, sustainable manufacturing and smart living. In Electrical and Automation Engineering programme you learn to develop ecologically sustainable electrical and automation systems. This constantly evolving field offers you interesting design opportunities and excellent chance of employment.
Structure of studies
In our Electrical and Automation Engineering programme you familiarise yourself with Finland’s electricity generation and distribution, energy systems in buildings and energy efficiency for example in real estates.
You learn to apply information technology, electrical engineering, automation and robotics through practise in different projects and by working in our modern laboratory environments. You get yourself acquainted with designing and utilising electrotechnical equipment and systems with safety in mind. You learn to test automation in new subjects using logic programming, micro controllers and cloud computing.
Ecologically sustainable thinking is an important part of your studies. With electrical and automation technology you can create energy for a more sustainable future and advance sustainable development in manufacturing.
Specialization options
After you have completed the core studies, you can choose studies to deepen your knowledge based on your career goals. Your options include for example modern technology applications, process automation, product automation and smart home.
Your studies include work placement and a thesis. In your work placement you have an opportunity to practise in real-life working environments in companies. In your thesis you research a subject that interests you in analytical and solution-oriented way, often for a company in your own field.
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

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 electrical and automation engineer to the energy or manufacturing industries. Your tasks could include for example design, production or sales as you work as a Design Engineer, an Automation Designer or an Electrical Designer.
