Overview
The teachers in the geoengineering programme are well recognised in Finland and abroad. Many of them have been involved in challenging engineering designs and projects and maintain strong industry links. It guarantees that the courses provide up-to-date knowledge close to the needs of the companies.
Also, geoengineering professors actively pursue research, and don’t hesitate to introduce new novel methods in their teaching, keeping geoengineering graduates at the cutting edge of development.
As a result, the daily studies include multiple learning methods like flipped classroom teaching, experiments in the above-standard laboratory facilities, field investigations (usually with machinery from industry, sometimes even with explosives), hands-on projects for the industry, visits to construction sites, and even certain projects carried out in tunnels under the campus or in virtual reality.
Career opportunities
Thanks to the Master’s Programme in Geoengineering from Aalto University outstanding links with the industry, geoengineering graduates have worked closely with industry companies and experts already during their studies.
The boundary between the industry and geoengineering studies is kept low to best serve the learning experiences of students as well as the future careers of graduates. Overall, the companies are extremely active in attracting geoengineering graduates as they represent a scarce and unique talent, highly sought after in Finland and Estonia, as well as in Europe and around the world.
