Great combinations of business and tech

I graduated from Aalto University's School of Business, majoring in Marketing, and I'd genuinely recommend it. What made the biggest difference for me, though, was the freedom to take courses outside my own major. I ended up mixing in some technology and design courses with my marketing courses, and that has turned out to be one of the most useful parts of my degree.

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.
