SAMK provides tools to reach the top in the business world

Application procedure for the English-language Master’s programme in business administration starts 1 August

The degree programme in Business Management and Entrepreneurship (BME) develops the students’ competence in the changing domestic and international business environments.

BME, 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.

Master's studies take 2,5 years to complete as part-time multiform studies together with a normal day job, if necessary. There are about 4-5 contact sessions in Rauma per academic year. Each contact session takes 2-3 days. Exercises based on working life and RDI projects characterize the learning process. 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 August to 27 September 2013. The studies will commence in January 2014.
