Your studying journey begins with the BScBA program. Since 2015, students in the BScBA program have enjoyed automatic rights to a wide variety of Master's programs in the Otaniemi campus.
The degree consists of 180 ECTS-credits, which is done in 2.5 years of studies, the shortest among Bachelor's programs in Finland. This includes basic studies, major and minor, language, electives studies, and ultimately your Bachelor's thesis. The way that this is done is with the intense studies schedule stretching across the summer.
During the first year, your studies will consist mainly of basic studies, i.e. business maths, economics, etc. Then during the summer, you can choose to take electives or language studies, which include French, Spanish, German or Finnish for international students.
Major studies will begin in the second year, along with the remaining electives, and the Bachelor's thesis process will start in the spring semester. After which, students need to take a compulsory exchange period abroad for the fall, or spring semester as their minor and complete their degrees.
BACHELOR'S DEGREE
The two-year Master’s Degree is built of 120 ECTS-credits and includes advanced major studies, minor studies and elective studies, as well as the master’s thesis.

In addition to Aalto BIZ Master’s programs, there are interdisciplinary Aalto programs to choose from such as IDBM (International Design Business Management) or Creative Sustainability.
The official language of the master’s programs is English, except in Corporate Law which is taught in Finnish. Learn more about different options here.
In addition to courses in the School of Business, you can also take courses from the schools in the fields of science, art and design, or even study abroad by going on exchange!
You can include these studies as either your minor or elective studies. In addition to Aalto’s course variety, you can include studies from other universities as a part of your degree in line with students flexible study rights.
