Personal study plan (also known as HOPS = henkilökohtainen opintosuunnitelma) is the student’s plan for completing the degree. It includes study blocks included in the degree (1st year: common studies, summer school, internship + 2nd year: specialisation, thesis), courses included in the study blocks and schedule for completing the degree, i.e. the courses placed in study years, terms and teaching periods.
In the beginning of 1st autumn semester, you will create your study plan for the whole 1st academic year at Aalto. The 60 ECTS of the first year consist of compulsory courses, 2-5 ECTS summer school, 2-5 ECTS internship and elective courses. Please see SECCLO 1st year curriculum for more information.
You will apply for your second year specialization during your first year at Aalto. Exit universities will select suitable SECCLO students for their specializations. For more information, please see selection of second-year specialization. You can find the second year curricula here. Please note that these pages are to be updated.
A personal study plan (HOPS) is made in the student information system Sisu.
For instructions on how to make a personal study plan, please see Making a personal study plan (HOPS) in the Sisu instructions. The study plan will be checked by the study coordinator and if required, by the professor in charge of the programme. You will receive more information and guidance for making your study plan at the latest during orientation week. You will enroll to courses through your primary study plan.
The study plan is a binding agreement to both parties: the student and the university. It grants the student with a right to study according to the approved, official personal study plan, but at the same time, obliges the student to follow his/her study plan.
Your personal study plan is a tool for you that helps you to plan your studies and keep track of their progress. When you have considered your goals, chosen the courses accordingly and drafted a realistic and target-oriented schedule for completing these studies, you have a map for making your plans a reality. Also, you will not able to register for courses without a study plan.
When you have completed your studies, you will apply for graduation based on your approved personal study plan and the degree certificate will be prapared based on these studies. In order to succeed in your studies, please keep your study plan up-to-date and contact Student services if you have any questions. Remember that it is always possible to update the personal study plan later on, so do not worry, your personal study plan does not have to be the final plan.
The personal study plan is done in the beginning of your studies, but note that it is beneficial for you to start planning your studies well in advance.
If you want to discuss your plan with someone or if you need guidance, you can always contact the student services.
If the status of your HOPS is "against the rules" send it for approval and add comments to justify your choices. If you are granted approval to replace a compulsory course with another one or if you are taking a course from outside of the list of courses in SECCLO curriculum, please send the confirmation of the major professor by email to your study coordinator (unless the course is extra and will not be included in your degree. In this case, please justify in the comments).
Have you considered what studying means to you, what is the best way for you to learn or how you can make your studies run smoothly?
Study skills consist of a number of areas, such as the management of study methods, self-management, acting in a community and regulation of personal emotions. Learn more about these by clicking on Study skills.

12 December 2022 HAIC Talk: visiting professor Yondae Kim, Lumituuli, Dipoli, Aalto University
Welcome to the last HAIC talk in 2022. The talk will discuss Unpatched Design Vulnerabilities in Cellular Standards up to 5G.
Speaker: Prof. Yongdae Kim, Department of Electrical Engineering and the Graduate School of Information Security and a head of Police Science and Technology Research Center at KAIST, Korea.
Time: 16:00 – 17:30 (coffee and buns served from 15:30). The lecture will be approximately 60 minutes, after which there will be time for questions.
Registration: The event is open to all and free of charge but we ask you to register for the event as it helps us to estimate the number of coffee ordered, thank you.
Lecture description: In a couple of years, "study items" for the 6G security standard will be set. Security issues not included in these study items are unlikely to be standardized and patched even in 6G. Therefore, before these study items are set, the security research community needs to put in effort to find security vulnerabilities in cellular standards up to 5G. Furthermore, as a community, we need to find solutions to these vulnerabilities that are practical enough to be accepted by the standard bodies. In this talk, I will introduce unpatched design vulnerabilities and attacks in cellular standards up to 5G. I will also talk about potential defense mechanisms and reasons why they have not been accepted in 3GPP so far.

Programme:
Internship (2-5 ECTS credits) is a mandatory part of the SECCLO programme, and takes place during the late spring/summer between 1st and 2nd academic year of the programme. Internship is part of the 1st year studies at Aalto University. On this page, you will find more information about the SECCLO internship.
Between the first and second academic year, students will complete an internship in European industry or research institution. During the internship, the student will work in a real R&D environment or expert organization as a member of a project team. The duration of the internship is at least one month, three months maximum. A 10-week internship that meets the program requirements results in 5 ECTS, which are included in Aalto first year curriculum.
Aalto together with the other SECCLO consortium member universities will supervise the process to ensure that all students find a placement for the internship, and that the internship projects and work contracts are aligned with the program goals and schedule. The organization which provides the internship placement will assign a local supervisor, who will act as the student’s mentor on developing technical and career skills. During the internship, each student will also have a named contact person from the programme’s academic staff. The students keep an online learning diary of their internship and write a reflective report.
Students whose internship is shorter than 10 weeks and who still need credits for the first year will be given a special assignment, i.e. an individual research or software engineering project, to complete.
The learning goals of the internship are the following:
SECCLO associate partners and other companies from the partner university networks are invited to offer internship positions for the students.
SECCLO students are responsible for finding their own internship positions, but you will receive support from academic and administrative staff and Aalto Career Services.
Please note that:
Instructions for the final report on your work experience
Your can use your learning diary as the basis for your final report of the internship. The purpose of the report is to tie your work experience into your studies. Your final report should be free-form, but NOT in bullet point format. Please use the SECCLO template. The length of the report should be 1-2 pages. You should reflect upon your experience and the following questions:
The scope of the degree is 120 ECTS. If you take extra credits from Aalto, they will be left out of the degree, but you may receive a separate transcript of them.
We will transfer all the credits that count towards your degree at the partner university. However, at least 50% of the scope of the degree must be completed at Aalto meaning at least 60 ECTS. If you take extra courses and receive more than 60 ECTS, be aware that you cannot use them to take less credits at Aalto – you will still need to complete 60 ECTS in order to graduate here.

We will translate each individual course grade of your exit university into Aalto grades according to the scaling table below. Note that failed courses cannot be transferred because Aalto cannot give credits for failed courses. Note also that the summer school and internship are part of your entry year studies at Aalto University according to the SECCLO degree structure, i.e. you should get 60 ECTS including the summer school and internship at Aalto University.
