The Aalto University was created in 2010 from the merger of three Finnish universities: The Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology and The University of Art and Design, Helsinki. Aalto University is currently divided into six schools, which are all leading and renowned institutions in their respective fields.
The School of Arts, Design and Architecture is an institution of higher education for design, media, architecture, film, art education and art. It combines study of the design and implementation of human-orientated environments as well as areas of research and teaching based on humanistic and cultural traditions.
The school’s unique character is a result of its ability to combine experience stemming from a long tradition with new thinking in a way that enables new, creative solutions. The school produces specialists and innovators in art, design and architecture with strong artistic and technical skills.
