Savonia University of Applied Sciences is a Finnish institution of higher professional education and one of the
largest universities of applied sciences in Finland offering a wide range of courses – both in Finnish and in
English. Savonia University of Applied Sciences’ organisation of experts educates strong professionals in six
different fields of study. Five of Savonia’s schools are located in Kuopio, North Savo, near each other. Those
are Engineering and Technology and School of Design (both at Opistotie Campus) and Social Services & Health
Care, Business & Administration and Tourism & Hospitality and Kuopio Academy of Music and Dance.
This guide book contains the courses that are taught in English at the School of Engineering and Technology
in Kuopio. These courses are provided in autumn 2016 and in spring 2017.
The School of Engineering and Technology is offering a wide range of courses – both in Finnish and in English.
The School operates mainly on two campuses in Kuopio and in Varkaus. The Degree Programmes taught
wholly in English in 2016–2017 are:

Student exchanges always base on agreements between institutions – e.g. an Erasmus+ or a bilateral
agreement. If you are interested in studying as an exchange student at Savonia UAS’ School of Engineering
and Technology, please contact your home institution's International Coordinator first to find out more about
the student exchange and its options.

2. A CADEM IC CA LENDAR 2 01 6–20 17
The academic year is divided into two semesters and four study periods. Each study period has its own
timetable. Most of the courses last the whole semester. Student exchange lasts either a full academic year
or one semester consisting of full-time studies (approximately 30 ECTS/semester).
AUTUMN SEMESTER: September 1–December 22, 2016 (Joint orientation on the first day(s) of semester)
1st study period: September 5–October 28
Autumn break: October 17–23
2nd study period: October 31–December 22
_____________________________
SPRING SEMESTER: January 9–May 31, 2017 (Joint orientation on January 9th)
3rd study period: January 9–March 3
Winter break: March 6–12
4th study period: March 13–May 12
3. OR IENTATION
After the application process, information packages are sent to all accepted exchange students.
The orientation before the start of the studies covers e.g.
Introduction to Finland
Introduction to Kuopio
Introduction to Savonia UAS studies
Library services, computers
Documents concerning the exchange
4. COURSES TA UGHT IN ENGLISH IN TH E A CA DEMI C Y EAR 2 01 6–20 17
In addition to the engineering courses taught in English and listed here, possible (final/practical) projects
and conducting final project work / (bachelor’s) thesis while in exchange at Savonia UAS can be negotiated
based on the student’s background and needs. All of the School of Engineering and Technology’s degree
programmes (Civil and Construction Engineering, Construction Architecture, Environmental Technology,
Energy Technology (in Varkaus), Electrical Engineering, Information and Communication Engineering,
Industrial Management and Mechanical Engineering) can initially welcome students from Savonia’s partner
institutions to conduct project work while studying as an exchange student at Savonia. The decision about
the project will be made depending on the resources at the relevant department. We cannot guarantee
exchange students the possibility to carry out final project work.
