The degree has a nominal length of 300 ECTS after the matriculation exam. The degree qualifies for the study in programs for tekniikan lisensiaatti (Licenciate of Science (Technology) and tekniikan tohtori (Doctor of Science (Technology) degrees.

Since 2005, the degree has been incorporated into the Bologna process and all students admitted before 2005 are required to complete their studies by 2010, if they wish to
