SCI Master's Thesis Guide 2023-
CCIS
How to find a supervisor:
This page includes a list of master's thesis supervisors suitable for students studying in SCI Master's Programme in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences. 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.The list consists of faculty members in the Department of Computer Sciences and elsewhere. As a default, the master’s thesis is written on a topic related to the student’s chosen major. The supervisor should be a professor or lecturer from the field of the chosen major. If you are planning on doing your thesis for your minor, or your supervisor is not from the Department of Computer Science, you need approval for this from the professor in charge of your major. Please forward said approval to your topic approval application: There is a place for signature of the professor-in-charge in the form 206 Request for approval of topic of master’s thesis, but approval by email is also accepted.
Please also check what is the correct course code for the thesis and maturity test in your HOPS: the thesis code should match the department of your supervisor and maturity test code the school of the supervisor. To help you recognize if the possible supervisor is from other departments than CS, we have marked the correct department code after the name of the possible supervisor.
For CCIS students:

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.
