Lively campus and student life in Mikkeli

The Aalto University School of Business Mikkeli Campus is located at the Mikkeli University Consortium in the heart of the South Savo region, 230km from Helsinki. The campus is situated in the city centre of Mikkeli – a compact city close to nature. The campus itself has excellent learning facilities and an encouraging atmosphere for interesting encounters between students, professors and staff.

The campus has been built to accommodate the program structure in a way that the campus provides many areas where students can gather to do group work. For example, students can reserve study rooms.

Mikkeli Spirit

Thanks to a relatively small community and intensive learning experience, the spirit amongst the students is strong and lasts for a lifetime. Students use the phrase Mikkeli Spirit to describe the bond and close-knit community that forms among the students of the programme.

New students are welcomed into the program with open arms and the Mikkeli Spirit helps them feel at home in a new city far from home. It helps form life-long friendships that continue even after graduation.

The many different student clubs and associations related to culture, sports and other hobbies guarantee there’s something for everyone outside of studies. For example, you can join BaBa’s Kitchen, an international cuisine club or the sports club SkiBBA.

Library

The campus library has many books that students can borrow. The library has several books, e.g. biographies of some of the remarkable public figures to provide the students with some reading also other than studying material. In addition to general library services and a place to study in, students can get together in the library and watch a movie or play board games.
