European Business Administration (in English): Double Degree Path
Code: LXA22S1
Descriptions
Degree programme in European Business Administration, 210 ECTS.
Bachelor of Business Administration BBA
Day-time studies in English
The Degree Programme in European Business Administration is the oldest double degree programme in Finland, launched in 1993. It offers students a possibility to complete a BBA degree not only from Metropolia, but also from one of Metropolia's partner universities in Europe. Students must include an exchange study period in their studies. In order to receive graduation certificate from both Metropolia and the partner university, the student will have to successfully complete the requirements of both institutions, including minimum 60 ECTS of studies in the partner institution.
The programme is designed in partnership with highly rated business schools from around Europe, with the aim of providing students a solid foundation in international business studies, in a strongly international learning environment and with attractive work experience opportunities. All courses are delivered in English.
After an introduction to general business subjects, students are provided more advanced second-year courses. Greater emphasis is placed on the development of analytical skills and understanding of the wider business environment. ICT and data analytics skills, critical and innovative thinking and project management skills are developed throughout the programme. Students are also required to learn an additional language (French, German or Spanish for Finnish students, Finnish for non-natives) and to complete a six-month work placement and Bachelor's Thesis. Specialization studies e.g. in marketing, human resource and strategic management, finance, business intelligence or supply chain management, are completed at the partner university. The exchange study period usually takes place during the 3rd year of studies.
A graduate of this degree programme can expect to be offered attractive work opportunities internationally. Those wishing to continue their studies to Master’s level are well prepared to do so immediately or after two years of work experience, if they aspire the professional Master's degree from a Finnish UAS.
Studying in this degree programme involves a high degree of commitment from the very start. Completion of courses must be punctual in order to qualify for the exchange year, which is a compulsory part of the degree. The European Business Administration students will be studying in a very international environment, as many participants come from around the world. By experiencing such a working environment, students can expect to be offered attractive work opportunities internationally.
