Lively campus and student life in Mikkeli
Mikkeli’s small campus is the key to its famous ‘Mikkeli Spirit’. The close community encourages interaction among students, professors, and staff, fostering collaboration and strong relationships. Additionally, the cozy campus mirrors the friendly and warm atmosphere of the city of 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. Mikkeli is situated in the heart of the Finnish Lakeland and surrounded by the stunning Lake Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland. In addition to its natural attractions, Mikkeli has a rich cultural heritage and offers various historical sites, museums, and local events, that reflect the region’s history and traditions.
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 programme 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.
Collaboration with the main campus
The business students at Mikkeli Campus and Aalto University's main campus in Otaniemi work together closely with Probba (Mikkeli Campus student association), KY (School of Business student association), and AYY (Aalto University Student Union), keeping the Aalto spirit strong in Mikkeli.
When you move to Otaniemi to do your Master’s Programme, you'll already know people. Besides studying, you'll be part of a small group of like-minded people from different backgrounds. The Mikkeli campus has lots of student clubs and activities, making it a great place to be. These clubs are part of the lively student community at Aalto University.
