Introduction

The Bachelor’s degree programme in International Business at Centria UAS provides our students with a strong base of business skills and tools to manage businesses in intercultural environments. The curriculum is designed to provide the skills and expertise versatilely for the business field. If you are interested in working for an international company or in international positions and business environments, this degree programme is aimed at you.

The BBA studies at Centria UAS are practically oriented, and we will start from the basics, which means that you don’t need any previous business studies or work experience. You will study many business-related subjects, such as economics, business law, accounting and marketing, sales and customer service. You will also study languages and communication to ensure you have sufficient language skills to work in international positions. You will get to know business processes that include subjects about starting your foreign trade and planning and launching new businesses. Your studies include courses in human resources management, strategic management and environmental management. You will also study research and development related subjects to support you in the thesis project that you will do during your last study year. You can also join different research and development projects and other customer projects, in which you can practice the skills you have learned during your studies. You will deepen your knowledge in the profiling studies, which consists of three study modules: Creative Marketing, Global Business and Tourism and Event Management. In these studies, you will concentrate on various interesting subjects, such as B2B marketing and social media and e-commerce marketing, international logistics and exhibitions, events and fairs – only to mention a few examples.

The studies are conducted in English as part-time studies. The studies are organized in blended mode, which means you will have contact teaching in the classroom, online classes and project work. The contact teaching will be arranged on Campus Allegro in Pietarsaari twice a week during daytime. The studies require independent work, as well. However, you will also work in groups on different projects and assignments while practising your communication and teamwork skills. All the studies are organized in a multicultural environment since our students represent over 40 nationalities.

Centria co-operates very closely with the working life. Experts visit our lectures, and we also make company visits to the companies in our area. You can participate in some interesting real-life projects. These projects are an excellent opportunity to show your know-how and perhaps get a summer job in one of the companies. The studies also include work placement periods. During the work placement, you can practice your skills in an actual work environment and also get to know potential employers.

A bachelor’s degree in international business gives you the readiness to work in various positions. The majority of our alumni work in private companies. There is a demand for international business experts also in the public sector. In the future, you can work in sales or marketing, in development management or financial management, to mention a few possibilities. Some of our students have also set up a company, and they work as entrepreneurs. Lots of opportunities are available to international business professionals.

Internationalization

Centria has about 130 partner universities around the world, and you can spend a semester or a whole academic year in one of our partner universities. Centria offers three business-related bachelor’s programmes in English, and you are free to choose courses from all of the programmes according to your motivation. You can also do work placements abroad or at an international company in Finland.

You can integrate your studies at Centria with a business degree in our specific university partners in France and China by spending one year in one of those universities. You will receive two international degrees through one programme, which is a real opportunity for you. This possibility is worth taking – especially if you want to strengthen your language skills and get international experience.

The different internationalisation possibilities offered by our school are worth benefitting from, because many companies appreciate good language and communication skills and international experience.
