Transform the smart future with intelligent wearables.

Wearable Intelligence programme is the first International Master's Degree Programme in the field of Wearable Intelligence including Smart Textiles and Exoskeleton Robotics organized by three Fenno-Scandinavian Universities.

The market for wearable technology, including wearable intelligence devices and smart textiles, has evolved significantly over the last ten years. Modern society and industry are seeking intelligent wearable solutions to support people physically, mentally, and socially.

Objective:

In this programme you gain insight into wearable technology such as smart textiles and exoskeleton robotics, and you have the opportunity to become an expert in this field.

You learn...

...to design and innovate new textile processes and understand how to embed technology into garments.

...to innovate and design wearable and intelligent products and understand the design principles from the user’s functional, emotional, and social perspectives. 

...to understand the principles of platform economy and marketing in commercializing your product. 

...to innovate and design human-robot systems. You also learn to understand how to use design control systems in wearable and soft robotics.

3 reasons why to study in Wearable Intelligence:

The exoskeleton robotics market is steadily expanding and is projected to reach USD 16.0 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.50% during the forecast period (2023–2032).

This master’s program introduces smart textiles and equips you with new knowledge for integrating textiles into exoskeletons and other wearable devices.

Both Society 5.0 and Industry 5.0 emphasize collaboration between humans and machines, taking a human-centric approach that leverages artificial intelligence, robotics, and human creativity. This master’s program focuses on the core topics of both Society 5.0 and Industry 5.0.

Career Outcomes: 

You will gain the skills to design novel smart textiles and exoskeletons. You will be able to work in demanding expert, development, planning, and management positions related to wearable intelligence, both in domestic and international business environments.

A master’s degree qualifies you for positions that require a higher education degree. The degree is a fully recognized university degree in Finland as well as abroad, and upon completion provides you with the eligibility to apply for a doctoral degree.
