Summer School
Aalto University Summer School offers two-week multidisciplinary academic courses and programs in July and August. In addition to that, we organise customised study tours for groups around the year. The courses are targeted at an international audience, and most of our course participants are degree students in foreign universities interested in gaining international experience and exploring new topics.
In autumn, the summer school team collects commercially interesting course topics and recruits teachers for the summer courses. During the spring, the team assists teachers in finalising course plans and executes applicant marketing and summer student selections during the application period (February-May). In addition, the team plans and sells customised study visits in all seasons.
