Jamk's BBA in International Business provides students with the knowledge and core business management skills they need to succeed in the global marketplace. You will study the whole degree in English.
Jamk's International Business is the only EFMD Accredited Bachelor (previously known as EPAS) level programme among Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences. The EPAS accreditation, since 2012, is a sign of Jamk’s high international quality standards in academic performance, as well as relevance to the working life. The ever-changing requirements of the corporate world are very well integrated into the programme.
Our international business studies help you develop your knowledge and skills in multiple fields critical to succeeding in the global marketplace, such as:
*Principles for Responsible Management Education (UNPRME) and UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
During the first year, students concentrate on core managerial skills for ethical, responsible and sustainable business in the fields of marketing, management, finance and accounting, communication and research. They acquire the theoretical foundation of the business world, which helps them to understand business practices in global contexts.
During the second year, students choose one academic track to focus on and apply their skills in real life projects and the bachelor’s thesis. The Academic Tracks are Marketing Management, Cross Cultural Management, Technology Business and Future Foresight, Finance and Corporate Governance, Innovation Management, and Economics of Internationalisation and Competitiveness.
The third academic year is dedicated to international exposure, personal complementary studies and specialization together with practical training and/or an exchange period abroad. Students are encouraged to choose their specialisation studies at our 100+ partner institutions. Students can also widen their experiences and skills by pursuing a double degree at one of our accredited partner universities in Russia, France or Germany. In case a student takes one more semester at JAMK IB offers a variety of studies to focus on.
