Academic Affairs

The Academic Affairs sector ensures that the voices of business students are being heard regarding educational matters and that the education level stays up to par at our world-class university.

KY’s academic affairs work concentrates on acting as the voice of the business students of Aalto University in both school and national level discussions. The advocacy work focuses on improving the quality and appreciation of education by active participation and collaboration with the School of Business and AYY. Two board members, Isabella Kärkkäinen and Pauli Pihlajamäki, are in charge of KY’s academic and educational affairs but the work is not done solely by two people. Academic Affairs Committee KOVA, subject clubs and student representatives of the administration, hallopeds, all participate in student advocacy. KY’s Academic Affairs sector handles also campus affairs which focus on developing the learning spaces of the business students on our two campuses in Otaniemi and Mikkeli. This year campus affairs have concentrated on gathering feedback about the new School of Business in Otaniemi (which we moved into 2019), and planning future developments to make our learning spaces even better.

How can you get involved as a fresh mursu?

Some basic courses have seen changes this year and thus giving feedback about these courses and studies is more important than before. We strongly emphasize the importance of answering the course feedback form, commenting courses on Fringe Study Guide and sending KY’s Academic Affairs sector questions, ideas and feedback about studies. Our anonymous study feedback form is also a great way to share your opinions about courses. More information about study-related issues, and the study feedback form can be found at www.ky.fi/studies. Don’t hesitate to call, email or visit KY’s Academic Affairs sector. We are here for you to make sure you are heard in the university, the school and the student union.
