BEE in short

The Master's Degree Programme Barents Environmental Engineering (BEE) is a two-year programme of 120 ECTS at the Department of Process and Environmental Engineering, University of Oulu, Finland.

The BEE programme (officially called Master’s Degree Programme (BCBU) in Environmental Engineering § 7) is based on environmental, process and civil engineering subjects. The curriculum is multidisciplinary, including subjects ranging from ethics and environmental legislation and engineering to process engineering, economics and industrial ecology. The programme has been developed and is carried out in international co-operation with the universities participating in the Barents Cross Border University (BCBU) project in Norway, Sweden or Russia. BEE-students graduating from the University of Oulu will be awarded a Degree of Master of Science in Technology.

The Barents Region spreads over Northern Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia (see the map besides). It is rich in natural resources and high in economic value. Its nature is ecologically sensitive and regenerates slowly. Utilization of resources requires both more environmentally friendly processes in industry and innovative measures in environmental protection and restoration. BEE aims to answer to these needs.
