The Ukrainian students have been scattered around the Otaniemi campus among a variety of study fields. They have attended classes with topics such as 3D-modelling, mechatronics, computer-aided design, circular economy, artificial intelligence, illustration, game design, marketing, communication, public speaking, economics, product development, sharing economy, and leadership.
All in all, according to their personal accounts, when it comes to their education, the students especially value freedom of choice, flexibility in studies, and encouragement to find their own interests. Praises were also given for interdisciplinary aspects as well as courses and projects that bring students from different fields together; language courses, the practicality of teaching, and the treatment of current societal topics.
Apart from accumulating their course credits, their time at Aalto and the support shown by donors have provided the students both physical and emotional safety. Studying helps to focus on the future, and the scholarship has served as a stabilizing factor in their everyday life. It is motivating to do one's best when knowing that so many want to help.
