Aalto University- six leading Schools in one

Our belief is that education must offer opportunities, rather than ready-made solutions. Combining disciplines allows our students to influence their own study programmes based on their interests, career objectives, and strengths.

The name Aalto University symbolizes change and is a tribute to the courageous, overarching renaissance man Alvar Aalto, who distinguished himself in not only the fields of technology and economics, but also in art and design. Aalto himself is an alumnus of one of our Schools as well as being the creator of the Otaniemi Campus street plan, its main building, and other buildings on the Otaniemi Campus.

Aalto University offers the highest level of education in economics, art and design, and technology in Finland. By merging Finland’s premier business, technology, and art and design universities in 2010, the resulting institution, Aalto University, envisions a future that is international, multi-disciplinary, and full of opportunities.
