Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences Speciality : Management
programme: Business Administration in Management

Throughout the semesters, I got a good look at the sides of running a business in an international forum, and when I started my major studies, we dove really deep into the practices that small and big enterprises conducted, as well as got to touch on a lot of different software such as SAP, Merit Aktiva, and Procountor.

I would like to say, that the school in total is very good. It has good quality of education, and experienced teachers. The study atmosphere is very friendly and not stressful. The one thing, that there is not too much social life in college, no activities for students such as arts, sports, etc. I would like to have some after school activities available for students also.

While completing an international degree and being bicultural myself, I highly enjoy my degree program. What I like most is being around all kinds of people and lecturers, people from different backgrounds and cultures, and learning from them. My degree focuses on marketing, cooperating with businesses, and applying what we learn in their existing companies gives us a boost for our future careers and plans. My university has also proven its internationality by partnering with many universities abroad.

At least in my degree programme (Multilingual Management Assistant), the quality of teaching has varied a lot – some of the teachers have barely an adequate level of English knowledge, which makes it occasionally difficult to communicate with them and understand what is asked from us. Furthermore, in some cases their expertise in the topic they’re teaching is superficial.

However, there are some excellent teachers and quite a good selection of courses to choose from.
