Keys to success in EIT ICT Labs Master SchoolKeys to success in EIT ICT Labs Master School

Arrive on time in the beginning of the semester. Prepare to study full-time. Follow the curriculum. Abide by the universities’ regulations and statutes. Be proactive and independent in search for information – there

are always people here to help you, but encouraging students to be independent and take responsibility is part of the core ideology of Finnish universities.

Be an active respondent to any feedback surveys sent to you and participate in the development of the programme.

EIT ICT Labs General Overview | Page 7

Should any problems occur…Notify your study coordinator immediately of any changes in

circumstances which may affect your ability to follow the programme (i.e. you get sick and miss an exam and have to retake it, or you must suddenly leave home for personal reasons etc.)

And if necessary, see a doctor immediately! Not only for your own health and wellbeing, but also because notifications in retrospective (“I was so sick last semester that I couldn’t attend the courses”) don’t help.

Enrollment at Aalto By Finnish law, all university students must be members of

the Student Union, i.e. enrollment requires payment of AYY fee
