The new Aalto WiT Programme is developed for professionals who wish to work in the humanitarian field. It focuses on the resilience of human settlements in low & middle-income countries.

This programme gives you a valuable set of knowledge and grassroots work-life experience needed in the humanitarian field.

By participating in this programme you will gain both academic and practice-based knowledge which enables you to identify and create new opportunities for working with international organisations.

The WiT Programme is a 5-month intensive transdisciplinary professional diploma programme. It is developed together with our partner organisations and hosted by the World in Transition Research LAB (WiTLAB) at Aalto University.

The programme brings together the capacities of universities, organisations, and individual professionals who are passionate about changing the world for the better.
