Aalto University Launches New MyStudies Functionality for Master’s Thesis Management

The Master’s thesis management will change in August 2024 with the introduction of a new thesis functionality in MyStudies portal. When starting a master’s thesis, students will enter the basic information of the thesis, such as the topic, supervisor and advisors, in MyStudies and apply for the approval of the supervisor on the platform. The supervisor approves the topic and advisors. In the field of technology (the schools of CHEM, ENG, ELEC and SCI), the topic, supervisor and advisors are no longer approved by the degree programme committees. Students can start a thesis process and apply for the necessary approvals continuously considering the instructions of the degree programme on starting and timing of the thesis.

The final thesis is submitted to MyStudies for evaluation, approval and archiving.

The new process collects the basic information and administrative processes of a theses on single platform and allows better support and monitoring for the thesis process.

The eAge applications for master’s theses were closed on 1 August 2024, with the exception of the School of Business.

Below you can see a more detailed timetable for the implementation of the new functionality:

If you are currently working on your Master’s thesis, you will receive an email with more detailed instructions on how to submit your thesis for evaluation on MyStudies.

MyStudies is a digital portal for students. On MyStudies you will find the success team, a dedicated team of experts supporting you in your studies, and if they offer appointments on the platform, you can schedule appointments with the members of your success team. Advisors may write notes of the appointments and share them with you in MyStudies. In addition, the service includes the most important services for a student, some of them including appointment functionality, as well as direct links to the most frequently used pages.
