Software and Systems Engineering | Double Degree | Bachelor and Master of Science in Technology

Programming skills give you the tools to solve great societal challenges. Challenges can be related to, for example, digitalisation, reducing energy consumption, the research and development needs of the business world or guiding consumer behaviour towards sustainability. Societal or organisational problems may also be solved by introducing a new software service, product or system to provide assistance and information to the people around us.

Software engineering is for people who are interested in problem solving and want to make things faster, less costly and more efficient in the future. You will produce solutions that take into account the needs of both individuals and large companies.

The Bachelor's Programme in Software and Systems Engineering is a unique, international double degree programme developed in cooperation with the Hebei University of Technology (HEBUT) in China. Students admitted to this bachelor's programme will receive a degree certificate from two universities after they have fulfilled the degree requirements of both universities. You will complete the entire degree in Lahti, Finland.

Why a double degree?

This double degree programme prepares you for the international labour market. In today’s globalised world, getting degrees from two universities and mastering the basics of the Chinese language adds extra value to your future career and helps you stand out from other job applicants. As the official language of the world’s second-largest economy, Chinese is particularly valuable in business, allowing for more effective communication and fostering deeper connections in professional contexts.
