Educational Opportunities Across Europe – check the Unite! Student Catalogue
As an Aalto student, you’re a Unite! student. Unite! is an alliance of nine leading technical universities in Europe. It’s packed with opportunities to grow, internationalize, and connect with fellow students.
The Unite! Student Catalogue serves as a one-stop shop for Unite!’s academic and extracurricular offerings from all nine universities. It allows students to explore what’s available across Europe. You can also stay updated on new offerings via our official Instagram page @uniteuniversity.
What’s in the catalogue?
The Unite! Student Catalogue is organised into four main categories:
Courses
This category includes summer and winter schools, collaborative courses, virtual exchanges, doctoral school courses, and blended intensive programmes (BIPs).
Joint Master’s Programmes
These programs provide opportunities for integrated and multi-institutional degrees such as joint master's, double degree and multiple degree programmes which lead to a degree award.
MOOCs
We’ve carefully curated a collection of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provided by partner universities that align with Unite!’s themes of innovation, technology, engineering and sustainability.
Extracurricular Activities
Beyond traditional academic courses, Unite! and its partners offer a range of extracurricular activities. These include the Unite! Seed Fund, the Unite! Virtual Fair, ideathons, poster contests, webinars and various other events.
