Institution Info
Aalto - an internationally unique concept
Established in 2010, the Aalto University is a new university with centuries of experience. The Aalto University was created from the merger of three Finnish universities: The Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology and The University of Art and Design Helsinki. Aalto University School of Science and Technology has been divided into four new schools starting from 1st of January 2011. The six schools of Aalto University are all leading and renowned institutions in their respective fields and in their own right.
The combination of six schools opens up new possibilities for strong multi-disciplinary education and research. The new university's ambitious goal is to be one of the leading institutions in the world in terms of research and education in its own specialized disciplines.
An attractive environment for learning and research
The Aalto University is strongly future-oriented while, at the same time, building on the combined 300-year-history of three highly regarded universities. Only the best students and researchers are admitted to study and conduct research at the Aalto University.
A student-centered culture that encourages people to passionately learn new things will be fostered at Aalto University. The new university will provide high-quality research and education and create an internationally attractive environment for learning and research.
The Aalto University will focus its research on major global issues. New research environments often evolve into larger research programs or units through themes that require a cross-disciplinary approach.

Student Life
Finland has a rich history of student activities and involvement within universities and Aalto University is no exception.
By law, all universities must have one student union, and the student union representing students at Aalto is the Aalto Students’ Union (AUS). Every student automatically joins the student union of their respective school as payment of the annual fee is obligatory. Exchange students and other short-term students can also join the student union if their stay lasts longer than three 3 months, but membership is not obligatory for them. Yet it is recommended to join the AUS, as it provides a vast array of services, including housing and social activities.
There are also more subject-specific student organizations called guilds where students can get involved. A complete list of guilds can be found here (LINK). There are also clubs for international students to support their transition in coming to study at Aalto. It is also possible to have a Finnish ‘tutor’, who can help you adjust and prepare for life in Finland. Tutors are also arranged by the student union.
Aalto University has three main campuses all located in the Helsinki Metropolitan area: the School of Economics is in the heart of the city, the School of Art and Design is a short distance north of the city center, and the School of Science and Technology is about a fifteen minute drive west of the city in Otaniemi, Espoo.
In addition to the three major campuses, Aalto University also has units operating in different cities around Finland: in Mikkeli, Lahti, Vaasa and Pori.
