FITech Network University has been granted new funding from that broadens the course selection with courses related to health technology
The Service Centre for Continuous Learning and Employment (SECLE) has granted FITech a funding of 277 500 euros to address the competence needs in health technology.
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 addresses competency needs in health technology and combines offerings from various fields
The courses offered within the project aim to meet current and anticipated needs in health technology expertise, innovation, commercialisation, work readiness, and mathematical skills. The project 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 are aimed at higher education graduates in technology who wish to deepen their expertise, as well as other professionals working at the intersection of technology and health who want to expand their knowledge and improve their career prospects. The courses prepare learners for the future challenges and opportunities of the health sector.
Diverse selection of courses from health technology basics to business skills
The FITech Health Technology project offers 16 courses from various universities. There will also be a course to support studies in the field of technology and help update mathematical skills.
The health technology courses focus on the following themes:
- Basic knowledge and applications in health technology
- Artificial intelligence, data analytics, and digital systems
- Business skills and innovations
As part of the project, career guidance is also provided with the aim of helping adult learners utilise their accumulated skills more effectively in the working life and identify career paths in the field. Career guidance will be organised during 2026, and further information about its implementation and schedule will be provided later on FITech’s channels.
