Passionate about solving environmental problems such as water scarcity, pollution or disaster?
Do you believe sustainable practices and technologies can make a difference?
If so, our unique and new degree programme, starting in autumn 2025 is for you!Join us on a journey where water use, reuse, recycle, and management gets a modern technological twist to embark on a sustainable future!
Embark on this journey to become an engineer. Your future starts here!
We combine the study of Water Technology with Sustainability, enabling you to develop innovative solutions to environmental problems using cutting-edge technologies such as Environmental Modeling, Water and Wastewater Management and Treatment, and Remote Sensing.
You will learn skills like Environmental Sampling and use Laboratory Skills to analyze issues and solutions. You will also be able to develop sustainable resource management and circular economy solutions to water and environmental problems and communicate with data, graphics, and sustainability/scientific reporting.
The teaching is carried out on-campus in Mikkeli, and it is a day course, meaning you would need to be present in Mikkeli to complete your courses. However, the thesis and practical training components of the program could be completed abroad or in your home country.
The program is structured into four parts, each representing a study path: Learn, Plan, Act, and Build. This structure allows you to progressively build on your knowledge and skills in water and environmental sciences and apply them to real-world problems with sustainable solutions.
• Learn: Gain a solid foundation in learning and identifying water and environmental issues.
• Plan: Understand the role of sustainability to plan better viable solutions to these issues.
• Act: Use advanced modeling technologies to act towards solving real-world problems.
• Build: Test skills in practical trainings and build your project with a personalized thesis to specialize.
Implementation of studies
Student-oriented flexibility is a key feature of this program. You have the freedom to create your own study plan and manage your time according to your preferences and needs. With a good study plan, you could even complete the degree program in less than four years. Throughout the program, you will receive guidance and support to help you succeed. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the best water, environmental, and sustainability experts. Your specific
project and research interests will also be supported through various study channels, providing a rich and diverse learning experience.
Learning environments
Our program is designed to provide a practical and hands-on approach to education centered around real assignments. This approach ensures that you gain the skills and experience necessary for a successful career in water technology and sustainability. What we offer as learning environment:
• Environmental and Water Laboratory: We have a state-of-the-art environmental and water laboratory where you can perform sophisticated analyses and measurements with modern equipment. This laboratory plays a crucial role in the learning process.
• IoT Building Facility: Our IoT building facility provides a space where you can explore and apply the latest technologies in water and environmental sciences.
• Computer Labs: We have high-tech computer labs equipped with up-to-date applications and software. Licenses for required software are also provided, ensuring you have all the tools you need for your studies.
• Field Work: Part of the learning process involves going to the field, taking samples, carrying out analyses, and interpreting the results. We provide standard air, water, and soil sampling equipment for this purpose.
