Will I manage?
Students in technology fields are satisfied with the teaching and the support they receive for their studies. According to TEK's Student Survey 2025, over 80 percent of respondents feel that they are accepted, can be themselves, and that the atmosphere in their student guilds is good. The guilds and subject associations are also widely seen as practically open: they offer a diverse range of events and opportunities to participate in organising activities.
During their studies, technology students work in jobs related to their field. For example, in summer jobs, the median monthly salaries for students range between €2,300 and €3,600, depending on the number of credits they have accumulated.
For recent graduates with a Master of Science in Technology (diplomi-insinööri), the median salary is approximately €3,800 per month, and the average salary is about €3,870 per month. For Master of Science in Technology graduates in permanent employment, the median salary is around €5,400 per month, and the average salary is over €5,800 per month.
