    Amazing teachers!

    I love how committed the teachers are to their work. They put in so much efforts into making sure we have the best education. However, being English nursing students, it isn’t nice that it is difficult for us to get a clinical practice place in hospitals because of our low Finnish skills.

    Good learning experience with practical exposure

    I’m currently doing my Master’s in Strategic Supply Chain Management, and it has been a really good experience so far. The programme is quite practical and focuses on real-world applications, which makes it easier to understand how things actually work in the industry.
    The teachers are friendly, supportive, and always willing to help when needed. I also like the international environment, where you get to meet students from different backgrounds and learn from their experiences as well. It makes studying more interesting and enjoyable.
    The courses are generally well-structured, and the assignments help in building useful skills. Sometimes, there can be small issues with scheduling or communication, but overall it does not affect the learning experience too much.
    Another good thing is the relaxed and peaceful study environment, which helps you focus better. It’s a nice place for students who prefer a balanced and less stressful academic life.
    Overall, I’m happy with my choice of programme, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a practical and international study experience in supply chain management 👍

    Flexibility of Taking Subjects

    XAMK provides excellent opportunities to build your academic interests. Beyond the the core subjects, For my first semester, I had a huge variety of selecting as many subjects as I could in different fields e.g, I had choosen one subject related to culture, one related to language, one related to enterprenuership and three related to AI.
    This not only helped me in steering my formal Master’s in Digital Industry but also helped me in discovering beyond technology into culture and language.

    The teachers were really helpful in assisting and had always encouraged to explore opportunities. Campus at Kotka is a treat to visit. The library at campus has been my second home for always being peaceful, clean and quite.

    The best thing about the Campus is the sports facilities and availability of Gym.
    This helps me in staying healthy.

    XAMK Kotka, Nursing

    I’ve had a very positive experience with my university over these three years. First of all, I like the university environment as it is open to international students. I think the bilingual opportunity to study nursing programme itself proves it. The digital learning platforms were easy to use. The teachers were very supportive and approachable although the syllabus was very comprehensive. We were always given positive feedback.

    The modern simulation facilities and fully equipped hospital settings helped me to actively participate in clinical practices. The extensive practical trainings helped me to develop working life skills as well as Finnish language skills. The possibility to complete short exchange programmes abroad was also a great opportunity to learn from each other.

    Studies included wider variety of assignments such as visits to nursing homes, group projects, presentations, simulations, games. Most importantly there was an integration coordinator who supported international students to adopt to Finnish culture eg. participate in hobbies, sports, clubs, language cafes etc. Also additional support was given to acquire the required skill set for future working life eg. CV writing, hygiene passport.

    Moreover, students’ health was given priority. Student health nurse and well-being support services were available. I enjoyed my university life very much due to all of the above mentioned support systems and would definitely recommend it for international students who are seeking for career focused education.

    My experience studying nursing at Xamk.

    Studying nursing at Xamk has been a practical and rewarding experience to me regardless of my previous background in-terms of profession. The programme strongly focuses on hands-on skills, simulation training, and clinical placements, which has helped me connect theory directly to real nursing practice. The teachers are supportive and approachable, and the learning environment encourages growth both professionally and personally, being able to also learn a new language (Finnish) within a short period of time with the help of Xamk has been a great milestone to me. Overall, Xamk has prepared me well for working life in healthcare.
