- The programme provides multidisciplinary high-quality education in diverse fields of science and bioengineering.
- Students attain the competency to work as experts within the fields of modern molecular and instrumental technologies.
- Students attain the competency for scientific postgraduate education in the field of measurement technology related to modern bio- and nanotechnologies.
- Students learn to recognize, manage, and use the scientific and professional concepts of the major (biomeasurements, biotechnology or nanotechnology) as well as manage the basics of the minor(s).
- Students attain the ability to apply scientific methods to current and concrete assignments in the fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology and biomeasurements.
- Students acquire language skills and learn communication and cooperation skills required in working life.
- Common programme studies provide a broad view of science and bioengineering and ensure that students will have the necessary theoretical skills to follow courses in the science and bioengineering programme. Students select freely courses from the list to widen their knowledge. The minimum requirement is 20 credits.
The course SGN-6057 is a prerequisite for the course SGN-6106. If the student has knowledge in biochemistry and microbiology, he/she doesn't have to study the course SGN-6057.

Master's Thesis (30 cr)
- The master's thesis is an extensive treatise, which trains the student for independent study and research, mastery of scientific methods, the convention of references, and the scientific mode of presentation in a good literary form. The average time to complete the thesis is 6 months.
In connection with the thesis, student has to write a maturity test, which is an essay written on a topic related to the thesis. The test demonstrates the student's command of the thesis topic.
