During 2016-2018, there were just over 300 MSc graduates every year at the School of Science. In 2019, there were 427 students earning a Master’s degree in Technology, a hundred more than our set target. International students’ MSc degrees were 137 of these.

One example is the number of degrees in the Computer, Communication and Information Sciences (CCIS) Master’s Programme, which exceeded the number of degrees by dozens compared to the previous years.

The degrees in the BSc programme in Science and Technology were on target, and the number of doctoral degrees still has space to grow towards our targets.

Students learning field-specific terminology through glossary tasks

I interviewed two Aalto University instructors who have used glossaries created by students as coursework in a subject course and a field-specific language course. The assignments are based on active learning methods: the glossaries are not created by the instructor, but by the learners themselves. The interview focused, among other things, on the teaching philosophy behind developing the glossary tasks, how the learning of field-specific vocabulary can be linked to the overall learning objectives of the course, and what technical solutions enable students’ active learning in glossary assignments.
