Campus tours for prospective students

Interested in our campus, study options and student experience?

Our campus tours that are designed specifically for prospective students, their families and study counsellors, will help you to get a feel of what it is like to study at Aalto University. You will also discover useful information about study programmes and application processes. We offer different types of tours for prospective students depending on the size and purpose of the group:

• tours for individual visitors, who are either international or local students, and their families (up to 5 people)
• tours for larger student groups and their study counsellors from Finnish high schools or other educational institutions.

All campus tours offered for prospective applicants are free of charge. When registering for the tour, you can specify your preferred study field. Please register for the campus tour well in advance (tours for bigger groups should always be booked at least 3 weeks before the planned visit).
