Collaboration

For students

As an Aalto student, you’re a Unite! student. Unite! is an alliance of nine leading technical universities in Europe. It’s packed with opportunities to grow, internationalize, and connect with fellow students. We offer international courses on technology, multi-disciplinary topics, languages, and culture. We also provide funding for building extra-curricular activities with other Unite! students.
 
Join Unite! for easy pathways to international courses and collaboration. You can internationalize your studies even without leaving home!

Courses and other activities are mainly offered for master's and doctoral students, but many events and project courses are also suitable for bachelor's students.
