All students want to succeed during their studies. But who defines success? Here at Aalto University our hope is that you will! Our goal is to provide you with an education that not only inspires you, but broadens you. We aren’t only interested in how your studies will shape you but how you will shape your discipline? The world of tomorrow does not look like the world that your parents started out in. The local is global and there are no straight lines anymore. That is why when you come to Aalto University you will experience the future: where science and art meet technology and business.
By merging Finland’s premier business, technology, and art and design universities in 2010, the resulting institution, Aalto University, envisions a future that is international, multi-disciplinary, and full of opportunities. The new university's ambitious goal is to be one of the leading institutions in the world.
If your goals include meeting a wide variety of people from different places and disciplines, experiencing cutting edge research and concepts, or pushing the boundaries of traditional subjects then Aalto is where you should be!
All Aalto Schools provide education at the master’s and doctoral levels in English, while the School of Economics also provides bachelor degrees in English. Cooperation between Finnish and international universities, businesses and society is an integral part of the University. Diverse exchange and internship programs help students to gain vital experience for their future careers.
Helsinki and Espoo are two places in the capital region that are hard to beat. Well known for its design and art, as well as technology and some of the most recognizable companies in the world, Finland should be on any student’s shortlist. Our science and technology campus, Otaniemi, is situated in the largest technology hub in northern Europe. This is where collaboration creates cutting edge, socially valuable research, services and products. It is at the heart of us and we are at the heart of it.
Our business campus is conveniently located in the heart of the city. With around 4,000 students and over 500 researchers, teachers and service personnel, the School of Economics forms an innovative and lively community. The School earned the three most prominent accreditations – AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS – commonly referred to as the “Triple Crown”, this is a status shared with only 40 other universities in the world.
In the world of art and design Helsinki is synonymous with high quality and cutting edge. The Aalto University School of Art and Design is Finland’s premier institution dedicated to design, audiovisual communication, art education and art. It is the largest School of its kind in Scandinavia. During your studies, you are given the means to achieve theoretical and practical professional competence, and the tools to develop your own artistic expression and skill.
