It is important to teach not only in-depth expertise and skills but also broad-scoped expertise and skills. We want the Aaltonaut Bachelor’s Minor Programme to offer an opportunity for interdisciplinary study early on in a student's studies.
Ilmari Hakkola and Eino Hakkola
My thesis progressed at the same pace as this little guy grew in my spouse's tummy. For the last week I got to write in the company of the world's sweetest little boy, who acted as my source of inspiration.

It is likely that not nearly everyone who studies here in Otaniemi is aware that they study at a masterpiece of modern architecture. A great many tourists from around the world visit Otaniemi each year to see the buildings.
Tuomas Tikka
We wanted to build a satellite. The Aalto-1 satellite project has proved how dreams can come true, if you are willing to work hard for them.
Miro Arola & Janne Virtala
We founded a beer society called KYllä Oluelle (Yes to beer). We intend to try things out and spread beer culture so that the basic lager would not be the only beer students are familiar with.
Heini Hälinen
When I moved here to study, I ended up living in a large flat together with other students in Kauniainen. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to living in a commune.
Meng Wang
I’m arranging 3D printing workshops every second week for Aalto students. After the course, students are allowed to use the printers by themselves.
Krista Naumanen
I study at the School of Business but I completed some of my studies at the School of Arts, Design and Architecture. As studying at Aalto BIZ is rather straightforward, ARTS felt so different in the beginning that it was downright annoying.
Joel Raivio
Today, my friends and I have been pitching the skateboards and skimboards that our company Uitto Boards manufactures. I just heard that we are through to the next round!
Jani Loyala
I have liked Finnish baseball since I was a kid. I noticed there is a baseball team called OtaKoppi in Otaniemi, I will start training that if I can make the timetables work.
Riku Rantala & Tunna Milonoff
Tunna and I held a lecture at Aalto University to encourage students to take part in an exchange at a foreign university. The thing I regret the most with regard to my studies is that I never took part in a student exchange.
Pietari Pellinen, Mikko Närvänen & Markus Melander
I bought a used car for €550 yesterday. Of course, we all had to come and see it over a cup of morning coffee straight away.
Jiaying Lu and Ilario Toniello
We already got to know each other before arriving in Finland via a Facebook group created by Aalto University for the exchange students. We quickly became friends.
Jukka Helle
I am very enthusiastic about combining art and science. We have for example created expressionist works of art using an industrial robot built in our lab.
Konsta Ruokosuo
I had a summer job at CERN, where I was able to participate in developing a new system. What I appreciate here at Aalto and at CERN is that people are not valued too much on the basis of their titles or other similar things.
Sanda Vuković
I really like the nature here in Finland. Sure, I came here to focus on my studies, but besides that I have already booked two trips to Lapland.
Otto Palonen
Raising and eating insects is regarded as the most efficient way to produce protein when humans travel to Mars one day. Food made from insects can help protect the environment as well.
Petteri Pesonen
With friends at upper secondary school, we founded a band. We all ended up studying at Aalto University. It's easy to find practice places in Otaniemi, so we have continued playing here, too.
Eemeli Vanhanen
I lead the Startup Life project, which is rather unique even from a global point of view. It enables students of Aalto University to complete a 3–12-month internship in start-up companies operating in the Bay Area in California.
Katja Kortelainen
I believe that forestry will save the Finnish economy. With new innovations, the range of products that can be processed from wood will keep expanding.
