Include a study plan (HOPS) with your application, showing the studies of the applied individual minor subject under the Minor studies of your plan. Name the minor and describe your learning goals in relation to the minor. The name of the minor you give in the application will not appear on your diploma, but it gives an idea of the minor as a whole.

Description of the minor
An individual minor subject is a unit of study that a student may assemble from courses of their choice. A student may choose a personal minor if they wish to include skills in their degree that cannot be achieved through the study of existing minors. An individual minor subject must always be a purposeful and identifiable unit. A minor cannot be used to assemble random courses as a minor. The minor cannot have the same name or content as the student's major or any existing minor.

Haku: Opiskelija hakee henkilökohtaista sivuainetta hakemuksella, jossa hän perustelee, miksi sivuaine on tarpeellinen hänen tutkintonsa ja tulevan osaamisensa kannalta. Hakemukseen liitetään henkilökohtainen opintosuunnitelma (HOPS). Opiskelijan tulee hakemuksessa nimetä sivuaine ja kuvata sivuaineeseen liittyvät oppimistavoitteensa. Kandidaatin tutkintoon sivuaineen hyväksyy pääainevastaava ja ylempiin korkeakoulututkintoihin maisteriohjelman johtaja tai pääainevastaava.
Sivuaineen sisältö ja rakenne
Henkilökohtainen sivuaine on opintokokonaisuus, joka opiskelijalle vahvistetaan silloin, kun opiskelija tarvitsee pääaineen tai ohjelman opintojen rinnalle osaamista, jota ei ole mahdollista saavuttaa Aalto-yliopiston opetussuunnitelmassa vahvistettuja sivuaineita tai muissa yliopistoissa järjestettäviä sivuaineita opiskelemalla. Henkilökohtaisen sivuaineen tulee olla aina tavoitteellinen ja nimettävissä oleva kokonaisuus. Sivuainetta ei voi käyttää satunnaisten kurssien koostamiseen sivuaineeksi. Sivuaine ei voi olla nimeltään sama kuin opiskelijan pääaine.

Application process: Students apply for a minor subject using an application that justifies why the minor subject is necessary in terms of his/her degree and future competence. The student's personal study plan is attached to the application. The student must name the minor subject in the application and describe his/her learning outcomes related to the minor. The teacher in charge of the major approves minor subjects for bachelor's degrees and the programme director or teacher in charge of the major for master's degrees.
Content and structure of the minor
An individual minor subject is a study module that is confirmed for a student when the student needs competence to complement the major subject or programme studies that cannot be obtained by studying the minor subjects confirmed in the Aalto University curriculum or in minor subjects arranged at other universities. An individual minor subject must always be a target-oriented module that can be named. The minor subject cannot be used to compile a group of random courses into a minor. The minor subject may not have the same name as the student's major subject.
