Application procedure for the English-language Master’s programme in business administration starts now

The Faculty of Business and Culture in Rauma offers an interesting English-language Master’s degree at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences. The degree programme in Business Management and Entrepreneurship (BME) develops the students’ competence in the changing domestic and international business environments.

The Master-level degree programme in Business Management and Entrepreneurship, which leads to the degree Master of Business Administration, educates students for strategic management and business development in small and medium-sized enterprises, focusing particularly on their international operations. There is a great demand for strategic thinking, new business concepts, networking and management skills in the global operational environment. Cooperation with partner institutions in Europe, Asia and the USA adds to the international nature of the programme.

Students can choose the pace of study according to their own personal situation from three options: Standard flow, Fast track and Slow motion. The extent of the degree programme is 90 ECTS credits, and, depending on the pace of study, a student can complete the degree quickly or within a few years. The degree programme, of which 90 per cent consists of online studies, can easily be completed in addition to a regular job in Finland or abroad. The thesis, with which the student can develop the activities at his or her workplace, is a major part of the degree studies.

All those who have completed business studies worth at least 40 ECTS credits at a higher education institution are eligible to apply. Furthermore, the applicants are required to have a Bachelor’s degree, as well as work experience of at least three years in the relevant field. The language of instruction is English; hence, applications from both Finns and non-Finns are welcome. The students currently pursuing studies in the BME programme come from Finland, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Morocco and India.

Applications for the degree programme in Business Management and Entrepreneurship can be submitted from 1 June to 30 September 2011. The studies will commence in February 2012.
