Engineering Physics, Science and Engineering

Develop expertise through science and problem-solving

Physics provides the foundation for understanding the complex world around us, and for developing the technologies of the future. By combining theoretical knowledge with modelling, computation and experimental work, you will develop analytical and problem-solving skills that remain valuable across industries and throughout your career.

With us, you will learn how to:

• understand the fundamental principles that govern physical phenomena
• apply mathematics, modelling and computational methods to scientific and engineering challenges
• design and conduct experiments and analyse scientific data
• use physics to develop and improve technologies
• solve complex problems and communicate scientific results effectively

These skills open doors to careers in research, technology development, engineering design and data analysis, where you can contribute to scientific discoveries and future innovations.

Learn through science, technology and research

During your first year, you will build a strong foundation in mathematics, natural sciences and engineering. In your second year, you will focus on engineering physics and select a minor subject that matches your interests. At the same time, elective studies at Tampere University enable you to tailor your degree to your personal interests.

Your studies combine theory with practical learning. You will work on projects, laboratory exercises and real engineering problems while developing both technical and teamwork skills.

We offer second-year students the opportunity to join a research group through a research training placement. This allows you to gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge research while earning ECTS credits.

This bachelor's programme is taught in English. Before applying, please check our language requirements for bachelor's programmes.

Continue seamlessly to a master's degree

After completing your Bachelor of Science in Technology degree, you can continue directly to a master's degree at Tampere University without reapplying. You can choose from several Master of Science (Technology) programmes and further specialise in areas that match your interests and career goals.

Graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics are eligible to continue their studies directly towards a corresponding master's degree at Tampere University without having to re-apply. There are three focus areas in engineering physics: aerosol physics, computational physics, and photonics.

Study in Finland's most student-friendly city

You get to experience the unique Finnish student culture in the most student-friendly city in Finland. As a student at Tampere University, you will become part of a vibrant international community and experience Finland's unique student culture.

You will be part of our own international student guild TaSciEn, which offers a warm community of students in similar fields and organizes events, ranging from company visits to alumni events to parties and sports activities. The guild helps you build connections, develop professional networks and feel at home in Tampere from the beginning of your studies.
