Hi everyone,
I’m thinking about applying to the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Master’s programme at Aalto University because I want to work in UI/UX or product design in Finland in the future.
I wanted to ask current students or graduates:
How good is the programme overall?
Is Aalto well respected in Finland for UI/UX and product design?
Are internships or part-time jobs realistic during studies?
How difficult is it for international students to find UX/UI jobs after graduation?
Do graduates usually stay and work in Finland?
How strong does your portfolio need to be for admission?
I’d really appreciate honest experiences or advice. Thanks!
