International Business
In the International Business degree programme at Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (SEAMK) you will learn business skills with a focus on the international operations of companies and organisations. You will gain competencies in planning, running and developing business in a global environment. The study programme is based on a good understanding of entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized enterprises.
Developing your professional skills
The International Business degree programme has the potential to challenge your way of thinking. At SEAMK, you will have the opportunity to share and learn with other students from different countries and guest lecturers from our partner universities, which creates an international environment. This allows you to develop an important set of skills, giving you an advantage in the international business setting.
As part of your professional development, language skills are highly important when doing business in an international environment. All the courses in the IB programme are taught in English. This allows our students to improve their knowledge and usage of the English language at a business and academic level. In addition, you can also choose to study other languages. For instance, all our foreign students take courses in the Finnish language.
As part of your studies, you are eligible to take part in a one-semester exchange period or in a double degree programme. SEAMK has partnerships with several universities around the world, and every semester we receive many exchange students.
Internationalisation at SEAMK is not only visible in our International Business Programme, but also in our everyday life on the Campus.
