LUT University will graduate sustainable construction professionals in the coming years, when a new degree program in civil engineering will be launched at the Lahti campus in autumn 2027.
Students of civil engineering and civil engineering will be equipped to respond, in particular, to the energy and environmental challenges of the future built environment.
The education program will start with 30 Bachelor's degree students in civil and civil engineering and 20 Master's degree students.
In addition, a doctoral training program will be launched in Lahti. The training will initially be conducted only in Finnish, but it will later be possible to expand it to English.
The goal is to have 2035–500 civil and civil engineering students studying at the Lahti campus by 600.
