Aalto University is a multidisciplinary community of bold thinkers, where science and art meet technology and business. The university is committed to building a sustainable future with cutting-edge research, innovative teaching and state of the art entrepreneurship training.
By merging three leading Finnish universities in 2010, Aalto was founded to work as a societally embedded research university. In a short space of time, we have since become a forerunner in our key areas and a high-ranking global top 100 university. The research at Aalto is concentrated around seven key areas combining four core competencies in the fields of ICT, materials, arts, design and business together with three grand challenges related to energy, living environment, and health.
We offer more than 90 international Master’s Programmes taught in English. You can mix and match creatively, and create your own combination from the fields of art, science, technology and business. However, we at Aalto know that a world-class education is only part of the experience. We offer a tremendous student life, an international landscape, lively campus and a thriving community.
The architecturally distinctive campus has rapidly grown into a world-class collaboration hub and one of Europe’s most international academic communities, making Aalto the 47th most international university in the world in 2023.
The grant is primarily targeted for students who wish to complete a full Master's degree at Aalto University. Also other students, such as academically talented doctoral students and Master’s degree exchange students (non-degree students) can be considered for the grant.
