Spent 1 semester in Finland at Haaga-Helia. Amazing staff and everyone is super helpful. I really liked how they also pay attention on student life and to make programmes for erasmus students as well.
View moreI found my studies at Haaga-Helia to be very concrete and business-oriented with a good amount of theoretical study. It was easy to plan my schedule around my work, and balance my work and studies.
The Business Information Technology studies, and my major Digital Services, offered a lot of flexibility and a broad toolset to start my career.
Also the Erasmus exchange program helped me grasp a better understanding of international business and intercultural communication.

The community of students are always there for support and fun, and you get to still have the work-life balance!
