This master's programme provides you with knowledge and working methods in production engineering, industrial design and material development. The programme emphasises a combination of design skills and engineering qualifications through project courses in which students apply their knowledge to practice.
New products are introduced to the market daily and at an increasing pace to meet the growing demands of customers. As a result, the competition between manufacturers is entering a new phase. Since product design and development are considered transdisciplinary, they require profound knowledge of design methods, manufacturing tools, production processes, ergonomics, aesthetics and sustainability. Skills in these areas help to respond to market demands rapidly and produce justifiable and usable products on a competitive market. The master's programme provides you with knowledge of innovative design, manufacturing methods, human factors, creative problem solving, advanced materials, industrial and business challenges, and environmental considerations.

The degree programme uses a combination of online and in-person teaching methods. Most lectures and exercises take place online via the Moodle platform.
The course includes a few in-person lectures. Contact teaching primarily occurs on the Lahti campus, though some seminars and presentations take place on the Lappeenranta campus.
While the laboratories and other facilities of the Department of Mechanical Engineering are located in Lappeenranta, some facilities are also available in Lahti.
Teachers may provide teaching materials to students online. Course presentations, seminar days, meetings, and laboratory visits are arranged flexibly with the lecturer in charge of the course.
Delivering courses in a blended format does not affect the process of obtaining a residence permit for studies.
