Regular evaluation and strategic planning enable effective management of the degree programme portfolio. Our approach involves continuous a dialogue with degree programme directors and educational leaders, to understand the evolving needs of the industry and the aspirations of our students. 

With an aligned curriculum and research-based teaching, we ensure that our degree programmes are vibrant, attractive and socially relevant. Through a collaborative approach between different actors and stakeholders, Aalto University strives to provide high-quality, future-oriented education that gives students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their careers.
