Biosystems and Biomaterials Engineering’ major and minor to end
The Biosystems and Materials Engineering (BioSM) major and minor, offered through the Master's Programme in Life Science Technologies, will be withdrawn from the Aalto University curriculum as of 1 August 2028. Students may choose to study towards a BioSM major or minor until 31 July 2026, and they have until 31 July 2028 to complete it.
Students who are still studying towards a BioSM major as of 1 August 2028 will be transferred to the Master’s Programme in Biotechnology. Students pursuing a BioSM major also have the option to choose one of the other majors within the Life Science Technologies programme, provided they meet the criteria for that major.
