    What is academic advising?

    An Academic Advisor is a teacher in students own field of study who can support the student with study related issues by:

    • giving general advice on studies at Aalto,
    • discussing study and career plans,
    • sharing their own experience and expertise


    Academic advising creates a link between students and staff so that:
