The courses in Structural Engineering of Wooden Buildings equips you with insights and tools needed to take a central role in creating sustainable and climate-smart buildings. Courses are based on requirements for the scope of studies in building technology and structural design of wooden structures for exceptionally demanding structures, as well as study require ments in building mechanics and building physics, in order to have sufficient competence for exceptionally demanding wooden structures. The education meets the requirements of the Finnish Ministry of the Environment guidelines on the qualification of building designers YM2/601/2015 and FISE’s requirements and criteria for wooden structures and load-bearing structures in wood, as well as building physics.
Additionally, this programme deals with fire dimensioning, stiffening, and sound technology in wooden structures, as well as the climate footprint and life cycle calculations of wooden buildings. These studies are optimized for flexible learning and studying, parallel with fulltime employment. The studies are conducted online, in combination with independent studies and teamwork. To be able to take part in the courses you need to have Bachelor’s degree and/or Master’s degree in the field of topic.
