Course Buddies are first-year students who collect course feedback from other mursus and discuss the feedback with professors. During a course, the Course Buddy gets an amazing opportunity to get to know the professor in charge personally, and in return the professor gets valuable insights that improves the course as it progresses.
“For me, this was an extraordinary experience. Especially as I was interested in the topics of the course, it was fun to be in the box seat.”
– A Course Buddy
The Course Buddies for periods I and II are selected in September, and for periods III-V in December.

Student Representatives in Administration, aka Hallopeds, are Aalto students who participate in the decision-making and development of our university at various levels of administration. There are student representatives in degree programmes, departments, schools, academic affairs committees and the university’s central administration.
AYY appoints student representatives for one calendar year, and all members of the Student Union are eligible to apply. The main application period takes place in November, but positions may become available throughout the year. There are around 250 student representative positions open annually.

Each major in the School of Business has its own subject club operating under KY and AYY. Each subject club is also the main channel of academic affairs lobbying/advocacy towards specific departments at the School of Business.
The clubs each have their own academic affairs representatives, who form an important link between departments and students. If you have anything academic affairs related you wish to bring to the attention of the department, these representatives are the best channel for that. Applying for academic affairs related subject club board positions is also an excellent way to get involved in academic affairs. The clubs inform members about board applications separately, but usually it’s done at the end of the year.
Every year, KY's members vote for the best teacher at Aalto School of Business. You can find a list of all past Teachers of the Year below.
