Aalto University School of Science is a part of the Aalto University

Aalto University

Aalto University is a Finnish university established on January 1, 2010, by the merger of the Helsinki University of Technology, the Helsinki School of Economics, and the University of Art and Design Helsinki....

and is one of the four new schools of technology established from the former Aalto University School of Science and Technology on 1 January 2011. The new schools continue to offer first-rate education and research that promotes advances in science and technology.

The key asset of the School of Science (Aalto SCI) is its high-quality research. The school is home to seven Centres of Excellence in Research selected by the Academy of Finland and in a recent review of research, had nine of the top 18 departments in Aalto University including the top five. Aalto University School of Science consists of seven departments and three separate institutes. The School offers studies in Computer Science and Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management, Information Networks and Engineering Physics and Mathematics and has currently 14 Master's programmes as well as doctoral programme available in English.
