Aalto University School of Business MiM Fees 2026

The closest equivalent — and the degree most applicants searching for an Aalto MiM are looking at — is the Master's Programme in International Management, renamed for 2026–27 from its previous name, Global Management. It is a two-year, 120-ECTS, English-taught Master of Science (Economics and Business Administration) focused on strategy, business development, leadership and cross-cultural management. It is also the host degree for Aalto's CEMS Master in International Management. Aalto's School of Business offers other MSc majors (Marketing, Finance, Information and Service Management and more), but International Management is the general-management, CEMS-linked track.

Tuition is free for citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland — Finland does not charge tuition to students from these countries. Non-EU/EEA citizens pay EUR 15,000 per academic year, roughly EUR 30,000 over the two-year programme, with Aalto scholarships available that can cover 50–100% of the fee for strong fee-paying applicants. Helsinki-area living costs are significant — budget around EUR 800–1,200 a month for rent, food and transport — so the living budget, not tuition, is the main cost for EU/EEA students.

Aalto runs a single annual application window for its English-taught master's programmes, opening in early December and closing in early January for the following August intake — the 2026-entry window ran from 1 December 2025 to 2 January 2026 (15:00 Helsinki time). There are no rolling rounds, so a missed deadline means waiting a full year. The tuition-fee scholarship is decided as part of the same application. Always confirm the exact current-cycle dates on Aalto's apply page.

Aalto University School of Business traces its history to the Helsinki School of Economics, founded in 1911, and in 2007 became the first business school in the Nordics to earn the AACSB accreditation — it now holds the full AACSB/EQUIS/AMBA triple crown. It is deeply tied to Finland's economy, which skews toward technology, engineering-led industry, design and a fast-growing startup scene (Aalto is the home university of the Slush startup movement). Graduates move into management consulting, technology, finance and the strategy functions of large Nordic corporates. Aalto does not publish a Financial-Times-style weighted salary for this programme, so we don't quote one; confirm current outcomes with Aalto Career Services and the programme page.
