Double degree programmes at the School of Electrical Engineering

At the Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering, it is possible to choose a double degree or joint degree programme for Master’s studies. Studies cover two years (120ECTS) and language of instruction is English. Student studies at two (or more) universities in two (or more) countries and get a degree from each! These studies are an alternative to the local Master’s programmes and to student exchange. Studies include from 1 semester to up to 2 years abroad.

Why a double degree or joint degree programme?

  1. Two degrees with the effort of one
  2. Double your international network and chances in the job market
  3. Pre-designed package solution of courses
  4. Tight peer support

From self-driving cars to robotic assistants, the Internet of Things, and AI-based software solutions – the future is autonomous. However, as an emerging technology, autonomous systems hold both opportunities and risks. The key to navigating this potential minefield is to not only understand the technology itself but, more importantly, be able to confidently evaluate autonomous processes and maximise the trade-off between business impact and resources spent.

When our networks became overwhelmed with connected devices and streaming services, cloud computing saved the day. Now, the so-called ‘cloudification’ of networks is set to unleash a new era of smart connectivity – enabling everything from Industry 4.0 applications to autonomous vehicles, 5G and 6G, augmented reality, and urban infrastructure. With the increase of digitalization, we need more focus on efficient and distributed computation in the form of high-performance computing.
