The WiT Programme is developed in collaboration with global partner organisations and case providers and is hosted by the World in Transition Research LAB (WiTLAB) at Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture. It's aimed for professionals who aspire to make a meaningful impact in the field of humanitarian architecture and development. With a strong focus on enhancing the resilience of human settlements in low- and middle-income countries, this programme equips participants with the critical skills and insights needed to drive positive change. By participating, you will gain a unique combination of academic knowledge and hands-on experience, preparing you to work within the humanitarian sector.

The programme integrates innovative theoretical and practice-based pedagogical methods in resilience and systems thinking. It actively promotes decolonial practices through engaged partnerships based on mutual knowledge creation and sharing, aiming at societal impact and local development. The programme includes problem-based and transformative learning approaches, using real-life case studies to provide participants with work-life experience in collaboration with partnering organisations in the field of development and global sustainability.

The WiT Programme is suitable for professionals with a master’s degree and is also compatible with doctoral-level studies. The admission is organised once a year. In 2025, the WiT Programme is running from September to mid-December. The applications are open and will be closed on June 15th. Apply now and join us in building a better future for all!
