Equality in the School of Engineering

Plans and measures for promoting equality among the School of Engineering community.
People working

The School of Engineering aims to offer everyone an equal working environment in which employees and students representing different genders, backgrounds and positions are treated equally. Our common goal is to maintain atmosphere for studying and working at the university.

To support this aim, the school Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee prepares a biennial action plan, which is based on The Aalto University Equality, Diversity and Inclusion plan.

Development Manager Elina Karvonen acts as a contact person both in school's EDI development and as a school representative in the Aalto EDI Committee, which supports the planning, implementation and monitoring of the University’s EDi measures.

Gender and nationality statistics

Below, you can see graphs presenting demographic data on some of the key academic groups within the School of Engineering from 2017 and 2021.

    Graph depicting gender distribution in the School of Engineering

    The chart above shows gender distribution among graduates of all degree levels as well as teaching/research assistants, post-doctoral researchers, lecturers and professors.

    Though the changes between 2017 and 2021 have tended toward a more equal distribution, men account for roughly 75 % in all categories presented.

    Graph depicting statistical data on nationalities in the School of Engineering (years 2017/2021)

    This chart presents the progress in internationalisation within academic groups.

    In 2021, a quarter of graduates from the school's English-language master's education offering were foreign nationals, while the ratio of Finnish and foreign nationals is roughly even among doctoral graduates and post-doctoral researchers. 

    Note: bachelor's degree graduates are omitted from the graph, as the majority of B.Sc. education at the school is available only in Finnish/Swedish.

    Graph depicting demographics of School of Engineering professors, 2017/2021

    As professors represent a category of personnel with a low rate turnover, this graph presents the demographics of all School of Engineering professors along in comparison with those professors who joined the school during 2017–2021. Women and foreign nationalities are on average more represented among new recruits.
