My story

The world is full of opportunities - and professions. These professions can be completed at Aalto University. But how can you dream about something, if you don't even know of its existence?

In the My story series former and current Aalto people tell how they have found their own story with the help of Aalto University. Follow the stories with a hashtag #MyStory on Aalto University's Instagram (@aaltouniversity) and Facebook. Please use the same hashtag when sharing your own story.
