For the supervisors
This page contains useful information for SCI thesis supervisors.
Where do I send the thesis statement?
All thesis statements in School of Science can be sent to course-sci@aalto.fi. This email address is taken into use in February 2023 and it replaces grades-sci@aalto.fi. You will be notified by Learning Services if your student has submitted their thesis after each submission deadline (see Deadlines), but you can send your statements there anytime as soon as they are ready.

- Degree programme name

The last possible date to complete the thesis presentation is the deadline for submitting theses and applications for evaluation. Student's deadlines for submitting theses are on page Deadlines.
