The content in the Student Guide is split in two sections:

  • common information that applies to all students which you can find in the side navigation menu located on the left side on all pages, for example, exchange studies, applications, campus information
  • programme pages where you can find further information on every programme for example, programme studies, how to plan your studies, graduation and contact people of the programme

Site index for the Student Guide – page lists all Student Guide contents except for news and events.

You can find more tips on the Student Guide FAQ page.

    Student guide main page

    At the top of each page of the Student guide is the main navigation panel where you can find five headers, some with max. five subheaders. Pictured is the front page of the Student guide with the header "Programmes, Minors and Courses" open. You will recognize headers with a subnavigation by the arrow icon after the header title.

    Student Guide, programmes

    You can find all current programmes of Aalto University on the Student Guide. You can filter the programmes by the degree level, school and curriculum period or search for the programme directly.

    Student guide, programme page

    You can find all current programme pages on the Student guide. The programme pages have their own navigation with five headers, some with max. five subheaders. Pictured is the programme main page with the header "During your studies" opened to reveal five subheaders where you can find more information on each topic. 

    Student guide page example

    The pages on the Student guide often list links to specific sites without further explanations on each topic. This is to allow the user to navigate the site as smoothly as possible and to see a page's contents at a glimpse.
