Aalto Thesis Day

Aalto Thesis Day offers a unique opportunity for companies and organizations to connect directly with Aalto University’s diverse international Master’s students. At the networking event companies have the chance to meet talented students from a range of disciplines, including the Schools of Technology, Business, and Art and Design. For students, the event is a great opportunity to open the door to the Finnish job market and build professional networks.

The goal of Aalto Thesis Day is to connect Aalto University's talented international Master's students with companies and organizations interested in collaborating on thesis projects. This event provides a low threshold platform for employers to engage with a diverse group of students across disciplines, offering them the opportunity to find a motivated candidate to explore research, innovation or development projects. Aalto Thesis Day is also great way to enhance employer branding among the students and profile as an employer who values diversity and international expertise. 

For international students, the Master’s thesis often is a crucial step towards Finnish working life. When students complete their thesis in collaboration with a company or research organization, they get entry into Finnish working life, which increases the likelihood that they stay in Finland after graduation and continue contributing to the Finnish labor market.

The next Aalto Thesis Day will be held in autumn 2025.
Stay tuned and join us in supporting the employment of international students!
