Master of Science (Technology) is the correct translator for "Diplomi-insinööri" in Finnish. It seems that scientific writing is mandatory for Master of Science in Finland.

Halti's honorary degree was awarded to him from social sciences (valtiotieteet) and probably not from his work with history. All the presidents get it, Martti Ahtisaari was a school teacher etc. General Ensio Siilasvuo spent whole his work life in the service of Finnish Defence Forces was awarded with honorary degree from social sciences in 1990!

I would say that someone who hasn't got any biases from the subject and who can understood sources from both sides - Finland and U.S.S.R - and got the right education to write a proper work from the unit (historiikki).
