Topic outline

  • This page includes a list of Computer Science faculty members who can supervise master's theses.

    The student should contact the eligible supervisor whose area best matches with the potential topic. If finding a supervisor turns out to be difficult, the student can request help from the responsible person of their major.

    Students:

    Looking for a topic in Aalto? Check the wiki page for master thesis topics at the Department of Computer Science.

    CS faculty members' contact information: https://www.aalto.fi/en/department-of-computer-science/faculty-members.

    For abstract: use the full name of the programme (Master's Programme in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences). Check your major's code and name from Sisu or SCI Majors, Programmes and Codes even if you are sure you know them. Use the programme name and major always in English, also in Finnish and Swedish abstracts.
