FITech Health Technology

FITech addresses the learning needs in health technology including innovation, commercialisation, worklife skills, and mathematical skills

FITech Health Technology brings together offerings from fields such as medical engineering, health technology, nursing science, information technology, industrial engineering and management, electrical engineering and automation, and mathematics. The courses offered during the project are organised by Finnish universities of technology and they prepare learners to meet the future challenges and opportunities of the health sector.

The target group for the courses includes higher education graduates from the field of technology who are interested in deepening their expertise, as well as other professionals working at the intersection of technologies who wish to broaden their knowledge and improve their opportunities to work in health technology. 

Career guidance will be provided as part of the project to help adult learners utilise their accumulated skills more effectively in the working life and identify career paths in the field of health technology. Career guidance will be organised during 2026, and further information about its implementation and schedule will be provided later on FITech’s channels. 

The courses included in the FITech Health Technology project will be organised by Aalto University, Tampere University, University of Eastern Finland, University of Oulu, and University or Turku. The project starts in autumn 2025 and ends on December 31, 2026. The project is funded by the Service Centre for Continuous Learning and Employment (SECLE).
