Master's Programme in Mechanical Engineering
Recommended timetable
Careful planning of your studies ensures a smooth and coherent path from orientation to graduation. The recommended progress is 60 credits during one academic year (fall+spring)
For curriculum 2024-2026 and 2026-2028 you can see the recommended timing for major courses in the curriculum page.
The table shows the language of instruction and possible supplementary languages of instruction of the study unit implementation. The language of instruction is the language in which the teaching is provided, while the supplementary language of instruction is a language used alongside the language of instruction. The teaching offered in the supplementary language of instruction depends on the course: for a detailed description of the languages used in a given course, see the course’s MyCourses page.
You can complete study attainments, such as examinations or course assignments, using either the language of instruction or the supplementary language of instruction. In some courses, the language of study attainments may also be a language that is not used in teaching. The languages of study attainments offered are specified in Sisu under each study unit implementation.

During first year you should do the common studies (31 credits) and approximately 30 credits of advanced and elective studies. In second year you should do the the rest of the advanced and elective studies and your Master's thesis. For example, the spring term of the 2nd year of studies can be devoted to the Master's thesis.
The professors of the programme have prepared ready-made study paths, i.e. suggestions for how to select a meaningful set of courses for a certain specialisation. The advanced courses offered in the Master's Programme in Mechanical Engineering are divided into various topic groups and each topic group offers one or more possible study paths. Please note that the study paths are only recommendations and students are free to design their own individual study plan.
