Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Science and Engineering

Become an expert in science and technologyWould you like to study natural sciences and engineering in English? This cross-disciplinary degree programme provides you with a solid grounding in several core fields of engineering and the ability to follow rapid technological developments by applying scientific methodsThe Science and Engineering programme has two tracks: Natural Sciences and Mathematics and Computing and Electrical Engineering.The major subjects available in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics track areMathematicsPhysicsChemistryBiomedical EngineeringMaterials ScienceProgramme for curious problem-solversNatural Sciences and Mathematics is the ideal track for you if you're curious about exploring various phenomena and eager to understand the principles behind technological innovations. You can choose to specialize in one of the core scientific disciplines—Mathematics, Physics, or Chemistry—or focus on more applied fields such as Biomedical Engineering or Materials Science. Experts in Natural Sciences and Mathematics play a key role in e.g. addressing solutions to global challenges like climate change, developing more durable materials, and advancing medical technologies.We offer our students high-quality teaching in relatively small, multicultural study groups where teamwork is strongly supported. In addition to providing a sound theoretical basis for further studies in the field of technology, the programme places special emphasis on employability and integration. With this unique combination, our students are well-prepared for the international world of research and industry.Flexibility and options for further studiesYour first study year consists of common core courses in Natural Sciences and Mathematics. You will choose your major and minor at the start of the second study year. University studies at Tampere will offer you flexibility to tailor your degree according to your own interests. We also offer our second-year students the possibility to do research training in one of our research groups, which is an opportunity to get hands-on experience. This training is unpaid, but students will earn ECTS credits.Graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Technology degree are eligible to continue their studies directly towards a master's degree at Tampere University without having to re-apply. There are multiple options to choose from among the English-taught Masters of Science (Tech) programmes offered by Tampere University.
