Background Aalto is clearly Finland s largest ICT education organization ICT education is carried out in two schools: SCI and ELEC available potentials are not fully used when MSc programs are operated separately There is no clear work division between SCI and ELEC This has lead to some overlap in MSc education Why now is right time to merge MSc programs on ICT? MSc program renewal ongoing anyway Wide consensus on the benefits of the merger Large joint MSc program between schools will provide a test case for school cooperation and realize student mobility on new level 3
Computer, Communication, and Information Sciences (CCIS) Master s Degree Program organized by Aalto Schools of SCI and ELEC Eight majors and altogether 15 tracks Faculty includes over 50 professors First call for students starts in December 2014 Operation starts in January 2015 New students start their studies in September 2015 4
Degree structure Master s Thesis 30 ECTS Minor 20-25 ECTS Major 40-65 ECTS Elective Studies 25-35 ECTS Master s degree 120 ECTS Major: 40-65 ECTS Long major (55-65 ECTS) Compact major (40-45 ECTS) + minor (20-25 ECTS) Minor 20-25 ECTS (optional) Master s program decides whether minor is allowed Minors can be chosen from a list defined by the Master s program Elective studies 25-35 ECTS Additional minor (student s own preference) Multidisciplinary courses Courses supporting the major Full semester abroad Master s thesis 30 ECTS 5
International Studies All CCIS students are expected to have international component as part of their studies Various study abroad options (bit.ly/1zja42p) Double degree possibility in EIT ICT Labs Master s School (masterschool.eitictlabs.eu) and NordSecMob Programme (nordsecmob.aalto.fi) International minor at EURECOM Graduate School (eurecom.fr) or at many other international partner universities Exchange agreements with both European and non- European partners A number of international internship options (e.g., summer jobs) are also available 6
