Study Experience at Digital Business Master Class
Digital Business Master Class (6 ECTS) includes viewpoints to the Finnish and global digital business landscape and companies through industry lecturers and company visits. The lectures are held by Aalto faculty, visiting faculty, and industry professionals. The lecture topics cover various sides of digital business, from information systems to data-driven marketing and the ethics of artificial intelligence.
In addition to attending lectures, students learn by working on business projects in multicultural and multidisciplinary teams. The Master Class's participants come from Aalto and our partner universities around the world to share different ideas and perspectives.
During the Master Class, students also get to participate in various social and cultural activities, including welcome and farewell events, company excursions, and visits to local gems.
Deborah Flannery, Digital Business Master Class student 2019I found the experience transformational and would change very little. I'm definitely more confident in the digital vernacular.

Spending two weeks in Finland, exploring a new country and making friends from all over the world creates memories for a lifetime. We at Aalto do our best to make the students feel welcome and to help them make the most of their experience.
“I really liked the exposure to the digital tools, the vast differences in cultures and the different contexts that were brought in for class interactions. The coordinators also did their best to make sure everyone is on board.”

"I loved the visit to Suomenlinna sea fortress. The boat trip over gave us an opportunity to see Helsinki from a different perspective. Loved spending time with the class. Suomenlinna itself is beautiful and I enjoyed getting some of the history from the guide.”
