Hallo, ich bin US-amerikanischer Staatsbürger und bewerbe mich für einen Bachelor Programm in Finnland. Ich versuche herauszufinden, ob es einen Unterschied zwischen einem Bachelor in Technologie und einem Bachelor in Ingenieurwesen gibt
Das Programm ist im Maschinenbau angesiedelt, der Abschluss des Programms führt jedoch zu einem Bachelor of Science in Technologie.
Soweit ich gelesen habe, nennt das finnische System alle Hochschulabschlüsse in Ingenieurwissenschaften Bachelor-Abschlüsse Bachelor of Science in Technologie . Könnte jemand erklären, warum das so ist? Liegt das nur an einem anderen Brauch in Finnland? Oder ist es wirklich anders als ein BSEng?
Würde es in der EU und den USA für die Zulassung zum Masterstudium und für die Arbeit anerkannt?
Finnish engineering degree

Bachelor of engineering is insinööri (AMK), which is a different degree from Bachelor of Sciences in Engineering (Tekniikan kanditaatti). The schools that award these are different. AMK is university of applied sciences, where as universities are just universities. Former is more practical, latter is theoretical.
Bachelor in Sciences alone is pretty much worthless as you are expected to go for the masters. Bachelor in Engineering is a proper stand-alone degree.
Universies of applied sciences often offer Bachelors in engineering where as universities offer bachelors of science in technology. With a BoS it is expected that you continue into a Masters, BoE can also apply for a masters degree but it works well as a standalone degree as well.
Bachelor of Science in Technology is a university degree. Bachelor of Engineering is a degree from university of applied sciences which is essentially a polytechnic.
The Finnish word for a engineering/technology BSc is ”tekniikan kandidaatti”, and for the MSc it’s ”diplomi-insinööri”. Tekniikan = technology, insinööri = engineer.
So there really is no practical difference, just a linguistic one.
Edit: As others have pointed out this applies for universities. Universities of applied sciences might offer bachelor degrees that are different from University bachelor’s degrees.
