Orientation at CHEM

Studies for the academic year 2024–2025 begin during the orientation week from August 26 to August 30, 2024.

Participation in the orientation week is very important for the smooth start of the studies. During the week, you will meet your fellow students and teachers for the first time, socialize at events organized by guilds, receive support for course selections and study systems, as well as have the opportunity to handle official matters related to daily life.

The programme-specific orientation is very important to attend also for students who continue their studies after a bachelor's degree at Aalto. Please attend the programme-specific orientation if you graduate during the calendar year 2024.

Webinar: Planning your studies in Sisu

Aalto CHEM will organize a Zoom webinar to help you to plan your studies. The webinar date will be confirmed later, but will most likely be organized on the week preceding the orientation week.

Tutoring at CHEM

If you are a new student at Aalto, we will share your contact information with a student tutor who will contact you in August. Each new student who completed their bachelor's degree outside Aalto is assigned a student tutor who has completed tutor training.

Tutors are senior students who help new students during the orientation week and at the beginning of their studies. Tutoring is carried out in cooperation between the tutors, Aalto University personnel and student organizations. Each major and programme has their own tutors who introduce students to the campus, student organization activities (e.g. Prosessiteekkarit & AYY) and student life in general.
