Studying at the Aalto University gives you many possibilities for your future career. Our programme provide graduates with an ability to work in and between a wide variety of fields.
The Master's Programme in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences (CCIS) offers both broad and focused majors. It is the largest IT programme in Finland both in number of students and size of faculty!
A large part of our students do their Master's thesis in industry and start their career in R&D positions. Later on they may move to management, sales, etc. Many students become also entrepreneurs. In fact, Aalto University has one of the largest startup hubs in Europe.
The programme provides also an excellent basis for doctoral studies. Many successful students work first as research assistants, then complete their Master's thesis at the department, and later continue as doctoral students.
The Master's programme CCIS started 1 August 2015.
The Department of Communications and Networking provides most of the courses of Communications Engineering major, which focuses on communications and networking technology, networking business, and human centric communications.
About the programme
The Department of Communications and Networking (Comnet) invites 2 - 4 exceptionally qualified Master's students to join the department's honours programme in each academic year. Students admitted to the honours programme are associated to one of the department's research groups, and will have the opportunity for part-time employment during semesters in research-related work. In summer the students have the possibility of entering into full-time employment in the department's competitive summer internship programme. The honours students will also have access to the department's research facilities (wireless and networking lab, computing services, and department’s library).
Who can apply
To qualify, a student must have Communications Engineering as major in their M.Sc. degree studies and show good progress in their studies. The honours status is granted for one year at a time for a maximum of two years. Students starting their 1st year or continuing the second year Communications Engineering MSc studies can apply to the honours programme.
How to apply
Instructions how to apply for the academic year 2019-2020 honours programme will be published here later.
