Information and Communication Technology, Circular Economy
What goes around, comes around! Create a sustainable tomorrow with technology.
Combine ICT engineering and circular economy in our degree programme, where you will learn about data-analytics, the Internet of Things and smart technologies that you can use to create sustainable products and services of the future. With sustainable technology, you can have a critical impact on preventing climate change by utilising natural resources responsibly for people’s wellbeing.
Structure of studies
In our Information and Communication Technology, Circular Economy programme, you combine an engineer’s information technology studies with circular economy that helps to develop our society.
You get a strong basic knowledge in data analytics, IoT, smart systems, sensors, cloud services and how to use them to benefit circular economy. At the same time, you learn about sustainable products and services that utilise renewable natural resources.
Smart and ecologically sustainable systems are needed in all fields of industries. That’s why you get to do real corporate development projects with students from other fields in international environments. Our business projects have been about water, energy and waste management, material efficiency and sustainable utility of natural resources.
Earlier our students have created for example a hologram that tracks water consumption, helped local businesses with data-analytics and developed new ways to utilise motion sensors and leftover textiles.
Specialization options
You can complete your core studies with studies from for example 3D modelling and printing, machine learning and AI or global sustainability. In 3D modelling our students have designed and printed for example wind turbines that can produce enough ecological energy to charge a phone.
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 an 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
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.
What will you become?
You will become an expert on circular economy who can work in manufacturing, engineering and design offices or public sector for example as a circular economy engineer or data analyst.
