Language studies

Language studies are mandatory according to Aalto degree regulation. If you have taken equivalent language studies in your bachelor’s degree, you do not have to take them in your master’s degree. This means 3 ECTS credits including both oral and written part. You can select courses that have letters O (for oral) and W (for written) in their name. Also basic Finnish courses can be applied here.

Professonal training

Students can include training in their studies. One of the training courses below can be included in elective studies.

• CHEM-E0130 Professional Training (3–5 cr)
• CHEM-E0135 International Professional Training (3–5 cr)

Minor

Students can also include a minor in their studies as part of the elective studies. All minors offered in Aalto can be found here.
