I actively participated in the mentoring program to encourage people just starting out and help them get over challenges. The lecturers promoted critical thinking, which is crucial for professional advancement. Because the lecturer’s advise was immediately related to the duties carried out on a daily basis, it was simpler to put it into effect.

I had my wants in mind when the Aalto University program was developed. They also had classes that were a little bit shorter. The enrollment procedure was uneventful but effective. If you follow the right steps, it’s not that tough to do. Overall, I had a good experience. Most professors are quite encouraging. However, there will always be one or two highly rigorous instructors, regardless of where you go. My bachelor’s degree was just awarded to me. I’m currently pursuing my master’s, therefore it goes without saying that I really adore this place and would strongly advise others to do the same.

The curriculum is very detailed and provides in-depth knowledge. The courses cover a wide and deep range of relevant information with regard to the topic.

However, each course’s time span is a bit short, either 1,5 months or 3 months, so the whole wide range of content is compressed and results in heavy work but less effectiveness in long-term memory.

I loved the fact that the machine learning and data science program was very detailed oriented and in-depth. It gave me a deep knowledge of various aspects of machine learning and data mining. I did feel at times that the focus is more on theory as compared to practicalities but I guess it is the need to fulfil the requirement of further research-oriented careers as well as the industrial requirements. Overall it is a great program to master your skills.
