  • You will have access to working life mentoring and Aalto's career services
  • You will have access to ARTS's facilities and equipment on the same terms as degree students
  • A pilot group of alumni students will be offered their own seminar: Becoming a Creative Professional

The alumni study rights will be piloted in the academic year 2025–2026.

 

You are entitled to the alumni study right if:
