Verified personal study plan (HOPS) Students are required to make a personal study plan (HOPS) as part of their MSc degree. The study plan is a binding agreement on both parties: the student and Aalto University. It grants the student with a right to study according to the confirmed personal study plan but, at the same time, obliges the student to follow his or her study plan. HOPS is signed by both the school official and the student one copy is for the student, one is stored in student’s file

Limitation to study time and residence permits

Limitation to study time Master’s programme = Full-time study programme to be completed in 2 years with 30 ECTS/ semester study time and study success are monitored by the academic and administrative staff

Working part-time? Citizens of EU/EEA-countries or Nordic countries can work without restrictions Non EU-citizens are allowed to work for a maximum of 25 h/week during the terms. There is no limitations on working hours in full- time employment during the holidays. Note that working while studying may seriously slow down studies as CSE courses at Aalto are quite challenging and time-consuming!

Renewing residence permits Non-EU students must renew their residence permits after one year: Application for extension of the residence permit must be submitted to the local police in person before current residence permit expires The student must show that he/she has proceeded in studies as planned: at least 40 credits / academic year

Dishonest behavior

What is considered dishonest behavior? = practice where the student's purpose is to give false representation of his/her own or other student's knowledge or an attempt to influence the grading of the course. Examples of dishonest behavior include cheating in an exam, copying someone else's project work or taking an exam for someone else. If, for instance, a student cites someone else's text, images or programming code as part of his/her work, the cited part must be marked clearly!

Consequences of dishonest behavior 1.A written notice of course failure to student’s file: may affect eg. getting assistant positions at the department graduation with distinction not awarded even if GPA is over 4.0 etc. 2.The professor in charge of the Master’s programme will be notified about the written notice. 3.ICT Innovation: Master School Office and partner universities will be informed 4.If cheating is considered serious or repeated, professor can initiate the disciplinary procedure: as a disciplinary consequence, the executive dean can issue a warning student can be expelled for a certain period of time (maximum of one year)
