Sustainable and Autonomous Systems

Smart Systems Developers

Master’s Programme in Sustainable and Autonomous Systems

Are you curious about sustainable living and autonomous systems? Do you want to learn how to build robotic solutions to various industries such as production, energy, transportation and logistics? Do you wish to broaden your expertise in real-time embedded systems, wireless communication, computer vision and other environmental sensing?

Gain a new perspective into ICT

Sustainable and Autonomous Systems is a new master's programme to educate experts who can consider the needs and opportunities of sustainable development in autonomous systems related to for example energy harvesting, smart cities and communities, locational awareness, concepts of AI and machine learning, as well as cyber security of systems.

After completing the degree, you will be able to develop sustainable and ethical solutions and new knowledge to benefit the society and industry. Moreover, you will gain valuable career skills such as problem-solving and decision-making, critical thinking, working in international teams, project management and entrepreneurial approach.

The education is a joint effort by University of Vaasa and University of Oulu. As a student of Sustainable and Autonomous Systems you can build a unique study path combining courses from these two Finnish universities strong in the field of engineering at the same time. Regardless of the city you choose, you will get the full on-campus experience. The programme uses various modern teaching methods; in addition to on-campus courses, for example hybrid and blended learning are utilised.
