JOO studies are integrated in the student’s degree at their home university, and the home university approves the JOO application first. You can get the home university’s endorsement for studies that are not offered at Aalto University, among other criteria. You need to have the JOO studies approved in your study plan before applying. That is why you need to discuss JOO studies with the planning officer or coordinator of your programme/major. For example their statement is enclosed with the application.

Most universities have two application periods a year, the next being in October. This application period is for studies offered during spring 2025. If you are applying in October 2024 to a university which has application periods, e.g. University of Helsinki, the application form must be submitted to Aalto by 21 October at the latest.
