The dean of the School of Business wants to encourage students to graduate with excellent grades in the target time set for their degree. To this end, the school publishes a Dean’s List in a special event every October. Students on the Dean’s List will receive an incentive scholarship of 1000 euros and a certificate of award.
To make it to the Dean’s List, students must finish their degree within the target time set for the degree and rate among the top 3% in academic performance among the students who began their studies in the same year. Students do not need to apply for inclusion on the list: the school checks the eligibility of all its graduates at the end of each academic year.
Academic performance is determined on the basis of the weighted average grade of all the studies towards the degree.
The target time (or the normative duration of studies) is
- no more than 10 academic terms as an attending student for those pursuing both a bachelor’s and master’s degree at the Aalto University School of Business.
- no more than 4 academic terms as an attending student for those pursuing only a master’s degree at the Aalto University School of Business.
- no more than 6 academic terms as an attending student for those pursuing only a bachelor’s degree at the Aalto University School of Business.
The target time does not include terms that the student has been enrolled as a non-attending student.
