Our master's programmes are suitable for students who hold a bachelor’s degree. They are internationally acknowledged two-year programmes that provide foundations for working in the industry or continuing to doctoral studies.
Even though it is an academic education, the studies are practical and have strong industry ties. Research-based teaching is combined with hands-on projects and real business cases, conducted in collaboration with companies. For example, in the field of technology at Aalto University, already approximately 70% of the master’s theses are commissioned by organisations, and this practice is becoming more common in other fields as well. In some programmes, especially in the fields of arts and technology, the studies include hands-on work in laboratories and workshops.
