International opportunities KY is becoming more and more international every year. We want to make sure all our members feel included, and, hence, our official communication language is English.

International exchange Every autumn and spring hundreds of students take a step to unknown and spend a semester abroad in foreign universities. Aalto cooperates with some of the top universities in the world, and you can find potential exchange destinations from almost everywhere. The best thing is that Aalto supports every outgoing student with a 1500â‚Ź grant. Since we are sending people abroad, in return we welcome many exchange students to Finland every year. KY-Sub, the international subcommittee of KY, is responsible for ensuring that these students can experience the wonders of Finland and learn what sisu is. Turn to page 30 to learn more about KY-Sub.
Tutoring As a tutor, you have two options to meet international students. The first option is to become an exchange tutor. The other possibility is to become a Master’s level tutor as the Master’s programmes in Aalto BIZ are open for international students as well. Tutoring is a great opportunity to guide new students into the world of KY and student culture, as well as to help them in everyday life in Finland.
Representative Council The highest decisive power in KY is held by the Representative Council. Also international students have the opportunity to run in the elections. The working language of the Representative Council is English and the RepCo has international members. If you want to participate in the most important decision making in KY and improve your language skills, make sure to run at the next elections!
