Key learning outcomes

As a Bachelor of construction and civil engineering, you are able to examine the construction business in a comprehensive manner. You know how to implement and design buildings and structures. You can assess the carrying capacity, sustainability, energy efficiency and other properties of structures, thus promoting sustainable development. You can assess the impacts of the solutions from the perspective of both an individual company and the entire implementation chain.

As a Bachelor of construction and civil engineering, you know how to search for data, carry out analyses, and make decisions while considering technical, economic and sustainable perspectives. In addition to professional know-how, you are able to engage in constructive interaction and gain good capabilities for working in the international operating environment of the construction sector. You also master the use of IT and construction software.

During your studies, you develop skills in project management and organisation. You can ensure quality control, safety, environmental impact and cost-effectiveness. You develop your communication and language skills and learn to work with different stakeholders, such as customers, clients, designers, contractors, authorities and team members.

In the construction sector and in the work of the construction engineer, creativity, innovation and a solution-oriented approach are appreciated. During the studies, we encourage you to apply theoretical information to practical situations and find the best solutions to different challenges.

Education content and professional growth and know-how

In the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Construction and Civil Engineering, the studies consist of common studies, complementary competence based on your choices, and practical training. The common studies include professional subjects in civil engineering as well as studies in natural sciences, technology, and languages and communication. Tutor instructors support you in selecting courses.

For complementary studies, students choose specialisation studies in either construction production or structural design.

Teaching utilises different methods such as lectures, working life oriented exercises and projects, laboratory exercises, information system and software exercises, digital materials, online studies and company visits.

Your competence will develop and expand during your studies. After completing your qualification, in addition to professional expertise, you will also have the competence to act in constructive interaction with members of the work community and gain good capabilities for working in the international operating environment of civil engineering.

Flexible studies

You can choose your alternative or elective studies from EduFutura partner institutions (University of Jyväskylä and Gradia) and international studies from European EUDRES higher education institutions. You can also choose from Finnish and foreign partner universities, such as other universities of applied sciences and universities. You can apply for accreditation of higher education studies that you have completed elsewhere.

Working life oriented learning

Working life-orientated learning is included throughout the UAS studies such as practical training promoting professional skills, the thesis and various working life projects. At Jamk, Jamk Future Factory® is an example of the operating model for working life-orientated and student-orientated learning. It brings together business actors, students, Jamk specialists and working life-orientated LAB and other learning environments. In addition to multidisciplinary and working life oriented project studies, it offers students the opportunity to develop their future working life skills, career paths and working life networks, which have been developed utilising stakeholders, foresight information, peer assessments and student feedback. Teaching practices are developed transparently together with working life.

Career opportunities and employment

After graduating as a Bachelor of construction and civil engineering, you will have extensive employment opportunities. You can work in versatile and challenging tasks related to the planning, implementation, maintenance and development of construction. Your job title may be structural designer, site engineer, supervisor in charge, project manager, developer consultant or property manager.

You can find employment in the public or private sector, such as in construction companies, design offices, municipalities or government agencies. As a Bachelor of construction and civil engineering, you also have the skills to set up your own company or work as a freelancer. The construction industry is international and offers opportunities to work abroad.

Qualifications

The Bachelor's Degree Programme in Construction and Civil Engineering provides the students with the skills needed for structural design in construction or construction production tasks.

The degree together with the work experience after graduation allows you to apply for competence as a responsible structural designer or supervisor in accordance with the decree of the Ministry of the Environment.

Further studies

You may, after graduating and gaining at least two years of work experience, apply for a master's degree level education. You can continue your studies by applying for e.g. Master's degree programmes in universities, vocational teacher education or Master's degree programmes abroad. The university of applied sciences offers opportunities for competence development in various institutes, such as the open university of applied sciences, specialisation training and work-oriented continuing education.

Education planning

The curriculum for civil and structural engineering has been developed in cooperation with working life representatives, alumni and students. The feedback received from students and the needs arising from working life have been taken into account in the preparation of the curriculum and course contents. Teaching is continuously developed on the basis of working life and student feedback.
