For whom: International Master's students of Aalto University, who are planning to do their Master's thesis during the ongoing academic year 2024-2025

Master’s thesis is a gateway to the Finnish working life: international students who do their thesis in collaboration with a company or research organization are more likely to find a job in Finland after graduation. In Aalto Thesis Day 2024, you get to meet companies that are looking for thesis workers in English.
