Programme director's handbook
Programme director's handbook
The programme director's handbook is a collection of guidelines, information about processes, tools, services and good practices at Aalto University. The aim is to support degree programme directors, heads of majors and others involved in implementing, evaluating and developing the degree programmes.
For new programme directors, we recommend getting familiar with the onboarding material before getting familiar with the handbook.
Educational leadership and programme management practices are constantly being developed. As a result of the development work contents of the handbook will be supplemented and updated to better support the management of education in Aalto.
