Sources

• Study at Aalto https://www.aalto.fi/en/study-at-aalto

  Model elements: Aalto explicitly describes studies in technology, arts and business and says students can choose courses in all three fields or specialise in one area.

  This supports interdisciplinary internal course and school choice, but it does not prove free construction of a second full major.

  The source therefore supports at least courseChoice 3, while the final courseChoice level is raised to 4 only because of separate cross-institutional study rules.

• Bachelor's Programme in Economics, curriculum 2024 to 2026 https://www.aalto.fi/en/programmes/bachelors-programme-in-economics/curriculum-2024-2026

  Model elements: the Economics bachelor curriculum has 180 ECTS, including a 78 ECTS major, a 24 to 30 ECTS minor, 30 to 36 ECTS elective studies, and language and communication studies.

  The page also states that students who complete the Aalto Bachelor of Science in Economics and Business Administration automatically have the right to continue in the Master's Programme in Economics.

  This gives a concrete 3 plus 2 structure example: entry is into a programme, with a minor and electives inside it, not a second equal major.

• Minors https://www.aalto.fi/en/minors

  Model elements: Aalto maintains a university-wide minors catalogue that can be filtered by target group, level, language of instruction and curriculum period.

  Minor pages state the structure and application instructions, and the catalogue includes minors for all Aalto students.

  This supports programChoice 3: systematic additional specialisation choice is verified, but a standard double major is not.

• Other studies https://www.aalto.fi/en/other-studies

  Model elements: Aalto invites students to expand their knowledge beyond their own degree programme at Aalto's schools, other Finnish universities, and internationally.

  The page brings together University Wide Studies, studies at other Aalto schools, other Finnish universities, FITech, exchange studies, international networks and multidisciplinary minors.

  This confirms that course choice is not confined to the student's own department.

• Cross-institutional studies, RIPA https://www.aalto.fi/en/other-studies/cross-institutional-studies-ripa

  Model elements: cross-institutional studies mean that students may complete studies at another Finnish Higher Education Institution when their programme belongs to a study network.

  Aalto instructs students to add the selected cross-institutional courses to their study plan in Sisu and enrol in teaching at another Finnish university through Sisu.

  Assessment completed at the target university is automatically transferred to completed studies in Sisu, with no separate credit transfer application, which is sufficient for courseChoice 4.

• Aalto University policy on extension to duration of studies https://www.aalto.fi/en/node/698391

  Model elements: the normative duration is three years for a bachelor's degree and two years for a master's degree.

  For students admitted to bachelor plus master study rights, the combined normative duration is five years.

  The card uses a 3 to 5 year range, excluding individual extensions from the normal educational model duration.

• Statistics Finland table 136d: university students by level of education https://pxdata.stat.fi/PxWeb/api/v1/en/StatFin/opiskt/136d.px

  Statistics Finland table 136d was queried for 2025, Aalto University, Total, Total field of education, level 63 University bachelor degree, and Total of university students.

  The returned value is 10,260 students. The metric note says that from 2002 onward students are counted as of September 20.
