The Guild of Materials and Metallurgy Students VK

Special status associations

Vuorimieskilta (VK) is a society for students interested in Materials Science and Engineering at Aalto University. It was founded in 1947. The guild can be referred to as the Guild of Materials and Metallurgy Students in English.

The guild organizes many different activities for its members. There are for example parties, “sitsit” dinner parties, sport events and sauna evenings. On 30th of April the guild organizes Beer relay and Vappu lunch. The annual ball is on the last Friday of November.

Internationality is important for the guild, especially in the form of the IFMMS International Student Weeks with friend guilds all over Europe. We have well-knit relations with industry and organize many excursion visits to see the industry in mostly the fields of metals and mining. The guild also takes care of the relations between the students and the School of Chemical Engineering, as well as has representatives in different committees and councils of the university.

Our guild is one of the smallest ones in Otaniemi, but we are known as a loud and lively guild!
